Topical Workshop on
The Muon Magnetic Dipole Moment (g-2)_mu

25 and 26 October 2007
School of Physics and Astronomy
The University of Glasgow


In the recent past there has been substantial progress on the experimental determination and the theoretical prediction of the muon magnetic moment. A tantalizing discrepancy between the SM prediction and the experimental value has been established, with highly significant consequences for physics beyond the SM. This topical workshop on the muon magnetic moment, will bring together experts, discuss the current status, open questions, and future prospects.

Topics will include:

  • status and prospects of the experimental determination
  • status and prospects of the SM prediction, especially the
    • hadronic vacuum polarization contributions
    • hadronic light-by-light scattering contributions
  • contributions from supersymmetry or alternatives
  • impact of the current discrepancy on supersymmetry phenomenology
  • correlation of (g-2) with other observables in models of physics beyond the SM

Speakers include:

  • Henryk Czyz
  • Michel Davier
  • Eduardo de Rafael
  • Gennadiy Fedotovich
  • Christian Fischer
  • Masashi Hayakawa
  • David Hertzog
  • Massimo Passera
