Description
The Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment aims to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, a_mu, to a precision of 140 parts per billion. Continuing to improve the precision of this measurement permits a more detailed comparison between the experimental value and theoretical prediction. The value of a_mu is extracted by measuring the precession frequency of the muon, omega_a, along with a precise determination of the magnetic field in which the muon precesses. This talk will focus on the techniques utilized to measure omega_a, which all originate from the time distribution of positrons emitted from muon decays. We will also discuss different scans for checking data consistency and some systematic uncertainty studies.
