Colloquium: Eric Cornell: 'Precision Measurements are having a Moment: Recent Results in g-2 and Electric Dipoles of Leptons'

When: Friday, May 24, 2024
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM CT

Where: Technological Institute, L211, 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL 60208 map it

Audience: Faculty/Staff - Student - Post Docs/Docs - Graduate Students

Group: Physics and Astronomy Colloquia

Category: Academic

Description:

The past three years have seen three dipole-moment measurements of record-breaking accuracy – the magnetic dipole moments (aka “g-2”) of the muon and of the electron, and the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. I will focus in on the latter measurement, performed at the University of Colorado. Then I will try to compare and contrast the relative implications of all these three measurements for the search for Beyond Standard Model physics.
