About the speaker: 

She completed her undergraduate studies at Imperial and went on to earn her PhD at UCL, working on muon g-2. Her involvement in the field actually began earlier, in 2014, when she joined the effort as an intern for several months to help build the straw tracker detectors. After finishing her PhD, she took up a postdoctoral position at Liverpool, where she has remained since. Her work has focused primarily on muon EDM searches, both at FNAL using g-2 data and in the new dedicated experiment at PSI, as well as on CLFV at Mu2e, where the emphasis has recently been less on analysis and more on the urgent business of getting hardware to function properly.

14:00 → 15:00 Muon g-2 at Fermilab: latest results and future prospects

Earlier this year, the Fermilab Muon g-2 collaboration revealed its final measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. This is a key quantity for precision tests of the Standard Model, with this result achieving an overall combined precision of 127 ppb. In tandem, the theoretical prediction has also changed, leading to new insight and fresh puzzles. In this talk, I will present the current status of both sides, focusing on the experimental techniques and analysis details of this final result. I will also give a brief overview of other ongoing analyses and future contributions to Muon g-2.

Convener: Dr Dominika Vasilkova (University of Liverpool)
