Muon g-2: the showdown

ABSTRACT
The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab has recently confirmed Brookhaven's earlier measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment aμ. This new result increases the discrepancy Δaμ with the Standard Model (SM) prediction and strengthens its "new physics" interpretation as well as the quest for its underlying origin. In this talk I will review the SM prediction of the muon g-2, focusing on some of the latest developments, and discuss the connection of the discrepancy Δaμ to precision electroweak predictions via their common dependence on hadronic vacuum polarization effects.

BIO
Massimo Passera is a Research Scientist at INFN, Padua. He received his Ph.D from New York University and worked as a researcher at Brookhaven, Bern, Valencia and CERN. He is a theoretical physicist and he is interested in theories of fundamental interactions, with a focus on phenomenology and precision tests of the Standard Model. In his career he has established himself as one of the world-leading expert of the physics of the muon magnetic moment. In recent years, he has been one of the proponents of the "MUonE" experiment at CERN.
