SUMMARY:The MUonE Experiment: Understanding Muon g−2 Puzzle via Muon- el
 ectron Scattering - Ce Zhang (University of Liverpool)

CONTACT:Dr Steve Dennis
DESCRIPTION:The latest measurement of the muon g-2 announced at Fermilab e
 xhibits a large discrepancy from the currently accepted Standard Model pre
 diction. The primary source of uncertainty on the theoretical value is rep
 resented by the leading order hadronic contribution (a_HLO)\, traditionall
 y determined through a data-driven dispersive approach. An independent cro
 sscheck of a_HLO is essential to understand this tension and consolidate t
 he theoretical prediction.\n\n \n\nThe MUonE experiment proposes a novel a
 pproach to determine a_HLO by measuring the running of the electromagnetic
  coupling constant via muon-electron elastic scattering in the space-like 
 region. The measurement will be performed using a 160 GeV muon beam at CER
 N. The experimental principle\, hardware and software developments and the
  status of the test runs will be introduced in this talk.
