Description
Very impressive recent developments have led to an unprecedented precision in the
experimental value and the Standard Model prediction of the muon magnetic moment (g-2).
A discrepancy of more than 3 sigma between SM and experiment has now been definitely
established! This discrepancy constitutes a strong hint for supersymmetry at the weak
scale, and it leads to significant bounds on the supersymmetry parameter space.
In the talk the developments leading to the 3 sigma discrepancy are reviewed, and it
is shown that this discrepancy can be easily explained by supersymmetry effects but
not by virtually any other model of physics beyond the SM.
Furthermore, it is shown that the bounds on supersymmetry parameters derived from
(g-2) are complementary to information that can be obtained at the LHC.
