SUMMARY:Measurement of Muon g-2 at Fermilab
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Nick Kinnaird\, Boston University\, Physics Departmen
	t\n\nPart of the Departmental Seminars.\n\nDissertation committee: Lee Robe
	rts\, Ken Lane\, Shyam Erramilli\, Jim Miller\, and Rob Carey.\n\nOne of th
	e few indications for new physics is the discrepancy between the theoretica
	l and experimental values for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Th
	ere is a 3 to 4 sigma discrepancy between theory and the last experimental 
	measurement held at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 2001\, which measured
	 the muon g-2 to 540 parts per billion. This discrepancy has been consisten
	t for many years now with ever improving theoretical calculations and other
	 experimental measurements. In order to resolve or confirm this difference\
	, a new experiment is underway at Fermilab to measure the muon g-2 to 4 tim
	es higher precision at 140 ppb. Muon g-2 at Fermilab gathered its first pro
	duction data in 2018\, and is currently taking data now. I will describe th
	e principles of the experiment and detail two specific parts of the analysi
	s that I have been involved in. These include track fitting and precession 
	frequency analysis of the Run 1 data.
