Description
I will present the recent measurement of the electron Magnetic Dipole Moment, known as the g-factor. The new measurement tests the most precise prediction of the Standard Model (SM). Key techniques include an isolated electron in a Penning ion trap, cooling to its quantum ground state, quantum non-demolition detection, and controlling cavity-QED systematic shifts.
I will describe how the ideal environment is realized, along with the effort for improved measurement, matter-antimatter symmetry tests, and other applications for fundamental physics.
