Summary. The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon has been measured to
0.5 ppm in a series of precision experiments at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. [1, 2, 3] The individual results for each sign:

−10
a+
and a−
µ = 11 659 204(7)(5) ×10
µ = 11 659 214(8)(3) × 10
are consistent with each other, so that we can write the average anomaly as aµ (exp)
= 11 659 208(6) × 10 −10 (0.5 ppm). A discrepancy, ∆aµ , between the measured
value aµ (exp) and the Standard Model aµ (SM) is a signal for new physics. Assuming that such a discrepancy is due to contributions from supersymmetric particles
provides a framework which can be used to constrain the mass of the dark matter particles, assumed to be the lightest neutral supersymmetric particles. The
deviation from the standard model has varied between 1.5σ and 3σ significance,
dominated by uncertainties in the hadronic contribution to the standard model
calculation. Currently the standard model prediction is calculated to 0.6 ppm precision and ∆aµ = 23.5 (9.0) ×10−10 representing a 2.6σ deviation. We expect that
the error on aµ (SM) will be reduced by a factor of two within the next decade. To
fully utilize this improvement, a new g-2 run is proposed for the near future. If the
mean ∆aµ remains the same, this would result in close to a 6σ discrepancy. In this
case, we would expect to see SUSY particles at the LHC and use the g-2 results
to measure tan β. If, instead, the Standard Model is confirmed to this precision,
neutralinos must have masses higher than ∼500 GeV/c2 and simple SUSY dark
matter models will be severely constrained.
1 Historical Summary
Precision measurements are a complementary approach to investigating the
highest energy, smallest scale frontier of particles and interactions. Over the
last decade, E821, the Brookhaven g-2 experiment, has successfully mounted
a precision challenge to the standard model. The magnetic moment is defined
eh̄
as µ = g 2mc
s, where g is the gyromagnetic ratio. Deviations from a purely
pointlike g=2 Dirac particle are characterized by the anomaly a=(g-2)/2. The
anomaly for leptons is ∼10−3 due to interactions with virtual particles which
couple to the electromagnetic field, thus providing a laboratory for testing
the Standard Model. Whereas the electron anomaly provides the most precise
measurement of the fine structure constant α, the muon anomaly is more
sensitive by m2µ /m2X to virtual W and Z gauge bosons, as well as any other,
as yet unobserved, particles in the hundreds of GeV mass range.

The 2.6 σ discrepancy announced four years ago sparked debate on the
theoretical calculation and encouraged further work on reducing the uncertainty in the 1st -order hadronic contribution. One of the more startling developments, approximately 6 months after the announcement of the first precision result (1.3 ppm), was the revelation by the Marseilles group [4] that
one of the contributions to the Standard Model theory, namely the hadronic
light-by-light term, had been independently assigned the wrong sign by at
least two separate groups. Kinoshita [5] and Bijnens [6] studied their previous work and found that they both had used an incorrect sign convention
in a matrix evaluation in a widely-used computer program. This moved the
theoretical value by 17 ×10−10 (by more than its stated uncertainty) in the
direction of the E821 result, thus reducing the discrepancy to 1.6σ. The next
g-2 run, with an improved precision of 0.7 ppm, left the mean unchanged,
but reduced the error bars, again indicating a 2.6 σ discrepancy with the
Standard Model.
Meanwhile, in order to reduce the uncertainty on the hadronic correction,
the use of vector spectral functions from the study of hadronic τ -decays in
ALEPH was introduced by Alemany et al. [7]. Previously, the only handle
on the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution at the low center of mass
energies which are relevant for g-2 came from the dispersion relation:

R(s) where R(s) =
s
σ(e+ e− → µ+ µ− )
(1)
R(s) is determined from a compilation of experimental results dominated
by the CMD-2 experiment at Novosibirsk. When the τ -decay data were first
combined with the e+e- data in 1998, it halved the error bars on the hadronic
contribution to the SM calculation. However, over the past 5 years the continued operation and analysis of CMD-2 has improved the e+e- data to such
an extent that the two methods were found to be in disagreement with each
other. Thus, in order to quote a discrepancy with theory, it became necessary
to distinguish which hadronic correction you were referring to. In 2003 the
Novosibirsk collaboration completely reanalyzed their ππ channel [8] following the discovery of a mistake in their normalization (the t-channel leptonic
vacuum polarization contribution was missing in the Bhabha scattering cross
section). Their correction increased their published hadronic cross sections
by 2.5%, thus reducing, but not erasing the discrepancy between the two
theoretical approaches (especially for energies above 0.85 GeV).
New results from KLOE, BaBar and Belle can provide an independent
method to distinguish between the two by using radiative decay to scan the
center of mass energies in the region relevant to g-2 (so-called radiative-return
method). A precise measurement of the pion form factor has been reported by
KLOE [9][10]. It confirms the Novosibirsk e+e- result. Preliminary results on
4-prong final states by BaBar [11] also bolsters confidence in the e+e- data.

line represents the Standard Model calculation as of early 2004, using e+e- data to
deduce the hadronic contribution. The dotted lines indicate the uncertainty in the
SM calculation.
On the other hand, branching ratios from CLEO and OPAL continue to
confirm the ALEPH data, thus indicating that the τ -decay construction may
be affected by a fundamental misunderstanding in how we apply CVC, isospin
corrections, or the electroweak symmetry breaking. Ghozzi and Jegerlehner
[12] argue that by simply allowing the mass of the charged-ρ to differ from
ρ0 is sufficient to account for this. Davier [11] shows that even assuming
this modification, a detailed comparison of the shape of the pion form factor
reveals some discrepancy. This in itself may be an indication of new physics.
Most are agreed, however, that in any comparison of aµ (exp) to aµ (theory),
the direct result using e+e- data is more reliable at this time.
The final g-2 experimental result was announced in January 2004 [3]. This
was a 0.7 ppm result with opposite sign muons. It was consistent with the
previous data sets, despite reversing the magnetic field in the storage ring.
However, the mean value was slightly higher than the earlier value, serving
more to emphasize than detract from any Standard Model discrepancy. In figure 1, the BNL g-2 results are shown together with those from the old CERN
experiment. The line represents the Standard Model calculation using e+edata [13]. Assuming CPT holds, combining all our experiments, and properly accounting for correlated systematics, the final experimental value for
the anomalous magnetic moment is now at aµ (exp) = 11659208(6) × 10−10
or a precision of 0.5 ppm. This further precision also tends to increase the
significance of the discrepancy, bringing us back to the original 2.6σ signifi-

of the theorists until such time as a new g-2 experiment can be mounted.
2 Current Experimental Status
Pions produced on a nickel target were directed down a beamline which momentum selected the forward-going decay muons to produce a 96% polarized
muon beam. The muons were injected into the storage region via a superconducting inflector magnet. A pulsed magnetic kicker bumped the muons onto
stored orbits in a uniform 1.45 T field and electrostatic quadrupoles provided
vertical focusing. The spin vector of the polarized muons precesses relative
to the momentum vector with an anomalous frequency ωa , given by:

The dependence of ωa on E was eliminated to first order by choosing
a γ which cancelled out the second term in equation 2, corresponding to a
muon momentum of p = 3.094 GeV/c. The aµ was then extracted from the
ratio of the measured anomalous precession ωa to the free proton precession

frequency ωp = µp B/h̄ in the same magnetic field. The proton magnetic
moment entered as the ratio λ = µµ /µp measured by the muonium hyperfine
structure interval [15]. B was measured in situ every few days by a trolley with
17 NMR probes, and interpolated between trolley runs using ∼150 stationary
probes.
To find ωa , the decay positrons (electrons) from µ+ → e+ ν¯µ νe were detected by 24 lead-scintillating fiber calorimeters read out by 400 MHz waveform digitizers, yielding both time and energy information. Since this is a
weak decay, the high energy positrons preferentially point in the direction of
the muon spin, such that an energy threshold cut at 1.8 GeV produces a modulation in the number of positrons detected as a function of time, multiplied
by the muon decay curve:
N (t) = N0 exp(−

where A (or Asymmetry) is the depth of the modulation and τ is the muon
lifetime at rest. Figure 2 gives a semi-log plot of the modulation curve from
the 2001 g-2 data covering almost 9 muon lifetimes.
This form was modified by beam dynamics, pileup, gain corrections at
early times, and muon losses coming from processes other than decay. Differences in the way in which each of these effects was treated, as well as data
selection and pulse finding, resulted in four independent analyses of ωa for
the 2000 data [2] and five for the 2001 data [3], which were then averaged,
with attention to their correlated uncertainties.
The analysis of ωa and ωp was divided into separate tasks with secret
offsets for self-blinding. The value of aµ was determined after the analyses
of ωa and ωp had been finalized, the offsets removed, and radial E-field and
pitch corrections applied. The result of the last two highest precision runs are
shown in figure 3 together with the SM result for e+e-. The SM calculation
which uses τ -decay to obtain aµ (Had) is shown in the figure as well, in order
to illustrate the degree of discrepancy between these two methods. Assuming
CPT, we combined the results from µ− and µ+ runs to obtain aµ (exp) = 11
659 208(6) × 10−10 [3].
3 Current Theoretical Status
One can separate the components of the standard model calculation into the
contributions from electromagnetic interactions, those involving weak bosons,
the hadronic vacuum polarization, and the hadronic light-by-light scattering.
Such a sum is shown in figure 4 using a subsample of Feynman diagrams.
The hadronic vacuum polarization contribution cannot be calculated from
perturbative QCD, but instead must be related to the measured hadron production cross section R(s) in e+e- collisions via the dispersion relation given

by equation 1. This is graphically illustrated in the third line of figure 4 by
a dotted line cutting the virtual hadronic blob to demonstrate how the real
process of e+e- to hadrons is related to the virtual process which must be
parametrized. The dominant SUSY diagrams are also included to illustrate
how new physics might enter into the sum of contributions.
The best set of such contributions, representing the latest compilations at
the time of this conference, is listed below, which when added together give

The QED component dominates, but also has the smallest error (now
computed up α4 with an estimation of α5 ). An improved value for the α4
QED term and later corrections (December 2004) by Kinoshita and Nio [17]
are included. The weak contribution includes 2-loop, leading and next-leading
log, but hasnt changed much in the last decade.
The largest error is in the first order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution as discussed above. Although higher order calculations rely on the
same parameterization, the contribution itself is much smaller and the error does not dominate. Calculations of the vacuum polarization contribution
using vector spectral functions from hadronic τ -decays [13] gives a contribution that differs significantly from the e+e- determination, dominated by

Novosibirsk CMD-2 data. Since it also differs from recent KLOE and BaBar
results which use radiative return to reduce the center of mass energies to
those most relevant to g-2, it is no longer used in direct comparisons as it
requires assumptions about CVC, isospin corrections, electroweak symmetry
breaking, and the charged-ρ mass. The hadronic VP contribution chosen here
therefore does not include τ -decay data, but does include the newest KLOE
results [16], as well as a QCD fit at the higher center of mass energies.
The next largest uncertainty comes from the light-by-light term which is
a model-dependent calculation. The listed contribution and its uncertainty
come from the recent re-evaluation of this term by Melnikov and Vainshtein
[20]. A smaller overall light-by-light term (12.0(3.5) × 10−10 due to the in-

clusion of some negative contributions) has been evaluated by Davier and
Marciano [14], which increases the ∆aµ discrepancy to 2.7 σ significance.
However, using the numbers quoted above, the g-2 discrepancy is ∆aµ =
23.5 (9.0) ×10 −10 representing a 2.6 σ significance.
4 Muon g-2 Constraints on SUSY Dark Matter
If supersymmetry is responsible for the non-standard part of the g-2 anomaly,
there exist new diagrams which can contribute to aµ , specifically two new oneloop diagrams: one with an internal loop of smuons and neutralinos and one
with a loop of sneutrinos and charginos (see figure 4). For minimal supersymmetry (MSSM) parameter space in the limit of large tan β, it is the chargino
contribution that can most easily generate masses large enough to explain
the discrepancy. A fairly generic result for tan β > 5 is an inverse quadratic
dependence on the SUSY loop mass given by
2
100GeV
tanβ
(4)
mSUSY
where tan β is the ratio of vacuum expectation values of the Higgs doublet
[23].
This (mSUSY )−2 dependence is responsible for shapes of the shaded regions in the plot of figure 5, provided by T. Goto [21] for three tan β regions,
under the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model and the
framework of SU(5) GUT models. The current ∆aµ value (solid line) and its
1-σ bounds (dotted lines) are plotted on top, with vertical arrows to show
how mSUSY is limited by the g-2 experiment for a particular value of tan β
(tan β=10). When such constraints are translated into a 2-D plot of gaugino
(m1/2 ) vs slepton (m0 ) mass [22] in the constrained minimal supersymmetric
model (CMSSM), they form the quarter circle shape of the g-2 preferred mass
region. Figure 6 shows such a plot for a particular choice of tan β and µ (the
Higgs mixing parameter). The dotted lines represent the 1-σcontours and the
solid lines bounding the shaded region correspond to the 2-σ contours on a
g-2 discrepancy presumed to be saturated by the SUSY contribution. For this
plot, Olive has used the value of ∆aµ = (23.9 ± 9.9) ×10−10 corresponding
to the theory compilations in March 2004, but not very different from the
current value quoted here. As tan β is increased the quarter circle stretches
and moves to higher mass. Both the positive nature of the g-2 discrepancy
and the b→sγ branching ratio constraint prefer positive µ.
The power of the g-2 measurement to constrain SUSY dark matter lies
in the contrasting way in which it cuts across m0 vs m1/2 parameter space
compared to the cosmologically preferred region, which is a hyperbolically
thin dark line with co-annihilation strips extending to high m1/2 and m0 .
Connecting these two high-mass extensions is the central focus point, considerably shrunk from the fatter (light-shaded) region by the WMAP data (0.094

< ΩCDM h2 < 0.129). LEP data excludes low m1/2 regions. The requirement
that the dark matter particle be neutral eliminates the lower right triangle
where the stau becomes the lowest mass SUSY particle. The next generation
of collider searches will take place at CERN when the Large Hadron Collider
comes on line in summer of 2007. The narrower the g-2 band, the more tan β
itself will be constrained if supersymmetric particles are discovered and their
mass measured at a collider.
5 Future Experiments and Theory Advances
Improvement in the g-2 constraint will depend on future advances in theory
and whether or not a new g-2 experiment can be mounted at Brookhaven
in the near future. Only 20% of the CMD-2 e+e- data (center of mass energies from 0.31.4 GeV) have been analyzed. Over the next several years one
should expect the precision in the dispersion integral to improve as this work
is completed. An upgrade to the VEPP-2000 collider will provide increased

1σ level (dotted lines) and 2σ level (solid lines)
luminosity and an improved detector (SND) to add statistics to the Novosibirsk data sample. An intensity upgrade at the BEPS machine will increase
the sample of e+e- data at the intermediate 2-5 GeV range. This energy
range contributes less to the g-2 hadronic correction, since the kernel K(s)
is decreasing with s, but it does provide an important handle on potential
systematic bias in the region where is overlaps CMD-2 and previous experiments. BaBar, KLOE and Belle will weigh in on differential cross sections
using radiative return for multiple pion states. The BaBar data will be especially interesting, since the data can be directly normalized in the same
apparatus measuring e+e- → µ + µ−. Within the decade, the error on the
1st order hadronic correction should be reduced to δaµ ∼35 × 10−11 , which
is comparable to the uncertainty on the hadronic light-by-light contribution.
Since hadronic light-by-light scattering is model-dependent, it is hard to pre-

dict whether a breakthrough will occur there anytime soon. Lattice gauge
calculations may have some successes in the next few years.
On the experimental side, Figure 7 shows the evolution of the measured
g-2 precision. It can be seen that each run is statistics limited and that the
systematic uncertainties for ωa and ωp are comparable. Another run in 2009 as
E969 will represent the best one can do with the modified ring and detector
geometry, before becoming limited by systematics. This requires collecting
70 billion decay positrons. By doubling the number of beamline quadrupoles
and using an open-ended inflector design, the number of stored muons can
be increased by a factor of 5, allowing this to be done in only 21 weeks for
a 0.14 ppm statistical error. The systematic error on ωa can be reduced by
injecting backward-going muons to reduce pion flash, adding another kicker
module to reduce coherent betatron oscillations, segmenting calorimeters to
reduce rate-dependent effects, and improving the front end electronics and
data acquisition to handle the increased throughput. In situ measurement of
the kicker eddy currents and mapping of the NMR probes can reduce δωp .
Combined with the theory precision expected a few years from now, the error
on ∆aµ would then be at 4.7 × 10−10 . If the mean ∆aµ remains stable, this
represents a close to 6σ departure from the Standard Model.
Looking beyond BNL, the next generation g-2 experiment would need
a factor of 100 more data to make it worthwhile. Such concepts are being
explored at the JPARC facility in Japan, (see, for example, Miller [24]) where
JHF provides a factor of 10 increase in intensity (100 bunches/cycle every 0.7
ms) and the rest would have to come from an improved match between beam
line and storage ring, etc. Another way to improve the experiment would be
to increase the energy of the muons (and their dilated lifetime) so that more
g-2 cycles can be measured for the same number of stored particles. This
means abandoning electrostatic focusing, which can only be used at 3.1 GeV,
that magic momentum where the radial electric field term cancels and the
precession is unaffected. A new ring structure has been proposed by Farley
[25] which replaces electrostatic quads with edge focusing. Due to the large
inhomogeneities in the field, the NMR probes must be replaced by proton
calibration of the field. All such new initiatives are still more than a decade
away.
Figure 8 shows how reduced errors would translate into dark matter constraints for a particular choice of tan β=10 and the preferred µ > 0. Both
plots include the factor of 2.5 reduction in uncertainty expected from a new
run at BNL, combined with improvements in aµ (Had) from e+e- data already
collected. The plot at the left represents the case where the mean discrepancy remains stable at its present value. The plot to the right represents the
case where the mean shifts down to the SM value. Due to the nature of the
constraints, a reduction in the error bars which leaves the mean ∆aµ intact
will significantly narrow the band of allowed masses, while a shift down to
SM will widen the allowed region, but reject SUSY masses < 500 GeV/c2 . In

6 Conclusions
On the experimental front, the BNL g-2 experiment has succeeded in its goal
to improve the precision of a fundamental constant by a factor of 15 since the
last CERN experiment 30 years ago. However, the theoretical landscape has
shifted considerably. Originally, the BNL experiment was designed to search
for the Higgs and to confirm electroweak symmetry-breaking by measuring
aµ (weak) to 20%. As the mass limits on the Higgs moved upward over the

last decade and a half of Tevatron and LEP runs, the contribution to aµ from
diagrams containing the Higgs shrank below our sensitivity. The popularity
of SUSY as an answer to the hierarchy problem and as a means to unify gauge
couplings has renewed interest in aµ , especially since the hint of a discrepancy
points to such convenient SUSY masses. The experimental improvement has
lead theorists to uncover a number of errors, improve calculations involving
both hadronic vacuum polarizations, as well as higher order QED terms,
spurred further experimental work on R(s), and lead to a re-examination
of CVC and pion form factors. In the end, no matter what the fad of the
moment, precision measurements of fundamental constants are an enduring
contribution to physics, since they confront our preconceptions with reality
and guide future discussions.
