Description

We will present a recent proposal for a new experiment to measure the cross section of the elastic scattering of high-energy muons on atomic electrons as a function of the squared momentum transfer. This measurement can provide the running of the effective electromagnetic coupling in the spacelike region and, as a result, a new and independent determination of the leading hadronic contribution to the muon g-2.
