Description
The magnetic moments of the charged leptons have long served as an important test of our models of fundamental particles. The well known tension in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon observed in the E821 experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory motivated the creation of the new Muon $g-2$ Experiment (E989), now taking place at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, which aims to achieve a precision of 140 ppb, more than a three-fold improvement over E821. In this talk, I will report on the status and progress of the new experiment, which has now completed two years of production data collection.
