Muon g-2 is an experiment designed to measure the magnetic moment of the muon, a heavier cousin of the electron. The term "g-2" refers to the deviation of the magnetic moment from the value predicted by a simple theoretical model. According to quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the Standard Model of particle physics, the magnetic moment of a particle is related to a factor known as "g.
