### The MUonE experiment

The precision measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment g − 2 of the muon at present exhibits a 3.5 σ deviation between theory and experiments. In the next few years it will be measured to higher

### Testing the Standard Model at the precision frontier: the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g − 2)μ is one of the most precisely measured quantities in particle physics (0.54 ppm). There is a long-standing discrepancy of 3-4 standard deviations

### Status of the Fermilab Muon g – 2 Experiment

The muon anomalous magnetic moment, aμ = (g – 2)/2, is a low-energy observable which can be both measured and computed with very high precision, making it an excellent test of the Standard Model (SM)

### The role of mesons in muon g − 2

The muon anomaly aμ=(gμ-2)/2 showing a persisting 3 to 4 σ deviation between the SM prediction and the experiment is one of the most promising signals for physics beyond the SM. As is well known, the
