Abstract: | Measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon are reviewed. The emphasis is put on the first one of a series of three CERN experiments which led to an experimental value ofa=1165922.9 (8.5)·10−9 (±7.2ppm), and which compares well with the present theoretical resulta=1165919.2 (1.8)·10−9 (±1.5ppm). |
