Abstract:
The precision measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment has been playing an important role in testing the standard model and in constraining new physics possibilities. Current results from BNL E821 show more than 3 sigma deviation from the standard model and requires further exploration. We are proposing a new generation of muon g-2 experiment at J-PARC. The measurement utilizes the pencil beam of muon, which can be produced from ultra-slow muon source at J-PARC. We aim to improve the precision by a factor of 5 to reach 0.1 ppm precision. We also plan to perform a search for muon EDM. A sensitivity of our search will be discussed.
