Status of the MUonE experiment
Giovanni Abbiendi
TL;DR
The MUonE experiment seeks to precisely measure the muon magnetic moment's hadronic contribution by analyzing muon-electron scattering, with recent progress reported ahead of a 2021 test run.
Contribution
This paper reports on the current status and recent developments of the MUonE experiment, an innovative approach to determine the muon g-2 contribution independently.
Findings
Preparation for the 2021 test run with a reduced detector.
Progress in measuring muon-electron scattering at CERN.
Development of the experimental setup and analysis methods.
Abstract
The MUonE experiment aims at an independent and very precise determination of the leading hadronic contribution to the muon magnetic moment, based on an alternative method, complementary to the existing ones. This can be achieved by measuring with unprecedented precision the shape of the differential cross section of elastic scattering, using the intense muon beam available at CERN, with energy of 150 GeV, off atomic electrons of a light target. The status of the project is presented, with recent results in preparation for the test run scheduled in 2021 with a reduced detector.
