Extra Radial Muon Orbit Distortion with E821 Beta Function

獲獎(jiǎng)作品摘要

The E821 experiment conducted in the national light source synchrotron in 2001 measured the muon's anomalous magnetic moment to a precision of 0.74 ppm, producing a three sigma difference between Standard Model predictions and experimental results. In order to conclusively decide whether the Standard Model needs expansion, a more precise model of the distortion of the muon's orbit was derived, factoring in betatron oscillations and closed orbit distortions using multivariate and differential techniques (including Greene’s theorem and Fourier Analysis). The previous models were compared to this novel model with a numerical baseline generated by a neural network in Python. Analysis in Mathematica and Linux command line verified that the prediction of the pathing of the muon was improved by over ten percent, increasing the precision of the moment to 0.54 ppm, without any investment into physical infrastructure. This allows for a better test of the completeness of the Standard Model and can improve the understanding of muon behavior in energy filled plasmas.

學(xué)科簡介：物理與天文學(xué) Physics and Astronomy

Physics is the science of matter and energy and of interactions between the two. Astronomy is the study of anything in the universe beyond the Earth.

Subcategories:

Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics?(AMO):?The?study of atoms, simple molecules, electrons, light, and their interactions.? Projects studying?non-solid state?lasers and masers also belong in this subcategory.

Astronomy and Cosmology?(AST):?The study of space,? the universe as a whole, including its origins and evolution, the physical properties of objects in space and computational astronomy.

Biological Physics?(BIP):?The study of the physics of biological processes and systems.

Condensed Matter and Materials?(MAT):?The study of the properties of solids and liquids. Topics such as superconductivity, semi-conductors, complex fluids, and thin films are studied.

Mechanics?(MEC):?Classical physics and mechanics, including the macroscopic study of forces, vibrations and flows; on solid, liquid and gaseous materials.?Projects studying aerodynamics or hydrodynamics also belong in this subcategory.

Nuclear and Particle Physics?(NUC):?The study of the physical properties of the atomic nucleus and of fundamental particles and the forces of their interaction.?Projects developing particle detectors also belong in this subcategory.

Theoretical, Computational, and Quantum Physics?(THE):?The study of nature, phenomena and the laws of physics employing mathematical or computational methods?rather than experimental processes.

Other?(OTH):?Studies that cannot be assigned to one of the above subcategories. If the project involves multiple subcategories, the principal subcategory should be chosen instead of Other.
