The Magnetic Moment of a Muon

A recent announcement of a new interesting result regarding the meon, which is one of the fundamental particles. Daniel sot maybe step us through what some of the theory calculations are and what they're actually calculating. So what they trying to do is understand what happens when a muon is flying through space. Andso we have to consider not just like the boring option that a muon flies through space and does nothing, but all the other possibilities. For example, a muon might also fly through space, but emit a photon and then reabsorb that photon. That's one possibility that's not very unlikely. In fact, we think the particles are doing that all the time.
