The passage around this formula
Contrast that with the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment, = (g-2)/2 , which remains unresolved. The Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment’s most precise measurement to date, released in August 2023, gives = 116{,}592{,}040(54)10^{-11} , a result precise to 0.20 parts per million [ 5 , 6 ] . Combined with the experiment’s earlier…
