We're less than 24 hours away from learning the first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab! #gminus2

Refresh your Muon g-2 knowledge before tomorrow's results seminar at 10am Central! Here's what Muon #gminus2 is looking for:

Muon g-2 is a blinded experiment. That means it used a secret code to obscure the result from the collaborators until the moment of unblinding. Here's how it works:

Muon g-2 will compare an experimental result to a theoretical calculation. Both are incredibly precise. Here's how theorists calculate g-2: symmetrymagazine.org/article/the-ma…

One crucial component for the Muon g-2 collaboration was creating a uniform magnetic field in their 50-foot-wide superconducting magnetic storage ring. Here's how they did it:

Who could forget the Muon g-2 magnet's big move? Travel back to June 2013, when this giant piece of equipment began its journey from @BrookhavenLab to Fermilab.

We’re thrilled to announce that the first results from Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment strengthen evidence of new physics! #gminus2

The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab sees fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. These results confirm an earlier experiment performed at @BrookhavenLab. #gminus2

The combined results from Fermilab and Brookhaven show a difference with theory at a significance of 4.2 sigma. The chance that the results are a statistical fluctuation is about 1 in 40,000. #gminus2
