The CERN muon (g-2) experiments

In this review we trace the evolution of the three muon (g-2) experiments which have played a considerable role in the history of CERN. In doing so, our discussion of the measurements is by no means comprehensive since full reports have already been published elsewhere. Instead we have endeavoured to place each in its physics context and to point out the technical developments that were necessary to achieve the succeding steps in precision.
