Dr Bingzhi Li (Zhejiang Lab 之江实验室)

The measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment depends on a precise measurement of the muon anomalous precession frequency and the magnetic field. For magnetic field measurement, as the field that muons experience cannot be directly measured, the multipole fitting interpolation method is generally employed. In recent years, integrating physical laws into machine learning has made...

The Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab measures the anomalous part of the muon magnetic dipole moment, a_{\mu}, and searches for a non-zero muon electric dipole moment (EDM). Both are excellent probes of new physics; precise measurements of a_{\mu} can help disentangle current tensions in the Standard Model (SM) prediction, and the predicted muon EDM is beyond current experimental reach. An EDM...
