What this part means
The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.
Its job in the formula
The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

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 data, the measured value differs from one widely used Standard Model theoretical prediction by (25159)10^{-11} , a discrepancy the collaboration itself describes as reaching 4.2 standard deviations [ 6 ] . This is a genuine, still-live tension, and it is also a genuine, still-live disagreement among theorists — not about the experimental…
