Abstract

The muon anomalous magnetic moment has been measured in a new experiment at Brookhaven. Polarized muons were stored in a superferric ring, and the angular frequency difference, ω_abetween the spin precession and orbital frequencies was determined by measuring the time distribution of high-energy decay positrons. The ratio R of ω_ato the Larmor precession frequency of free protons, ω_pin the storage-ring magnetic field was measured. We find R = 3.707220(48) × 10^-3. With μ_μ/μ_p= 3.18334547(47) this gives a_μ⁺= 1165925(15) × 10^-9(±13 ppm), in good agreement with the previous CERN measurements for μ₊and μ_-and of approximately the same precision.
