Speaker
Description
The MUonE experiment aims at an independent and competitive determination of the leading hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_\mu = (g_\mu-2)/2$, based on an alternative method, complementary to the existing ones. It could have a crucial role to clarify the comparison of the $a_\mu$ measurement with the Standard Model, given the recent Fermilab result, and the tension between the accepted theory prediction and a new Lattice QCD calculation.
MUonE proposes to measure the hadronic component of the running electromagnetic coupling by the $\mu e$ elastic scattering obtained by the 160 GeV muon beam at CERN on fixed target. The project status will be presented, in view of the test run on a reduced detector expected in 2021-22.
