Systematically testing all new physics solutions of the muon g-2 anomaly
Rodolfo Capdevilla (U. of Toronto and Perimeter Institute)


The Fermilab Muon g−2 collaboration has recently released its first measurement of (g−2)μ. This result is consistent with previous Brookhaven measurements and together they yield a statistically significant 4.2σ discrepancy with the Standard Model prediction. New physics solutions to (g−2)μ feature light weakly coupled neutral particles or heavy strongly coupled charged particles. In this talk I present an experimental program of existing and proposed experiments that can completely cover the set of theories that explain this anomaly.
