Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.3/27
4 Why am I here? The E821 Collaboration has finished the analysis of all of our data. We have reached ±0.7 ppm accuracy both for µ + and µ. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.4/27
5 Why am I here? The E821 Collaboration has finished the analysis of all of our data. We have reached ±0.7 ppm accuracy both for µ + and µ. Our combined ±0.5 ppm result still differs with the standard model. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.4/27
6 Why am I here? The E821 Collaboration has finished the analysis of all of our data. We have reached ±0.7 ppm accuracy both for µ + and µ. Our combined ±0.5 ppm result still differs with the standard model. We are statistics limited. For 2001 data set: σ stat = 0.66 ppm; σ syst = 0.27 ppm! B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.4/27
7 Why am I here? The E821 Collaboration has finished the analysis of all of our data. We have reached ±0.7 ppm accuracy both for µ + and µ. Our combined ±0.5 ppm result still differs with the standard model. We are statistics limited. For 2001 data set: σ stat = 0.66 ppm; σ syst = 0.27 ppm! We believe that our final result warrants additional work. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.4/27
8 We received support from DOE to run in 2001 We asked for funds to run also in 2002, and it was suggested that we finish our data analysis before asking for additional resources. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.5/27
9 We received support from DOE to run in 2001 We asked for funds to run also in 2002, and it was suggested that we finish our data analysis before asking for additional resources. This enabled us to focus on the key questions, and to put all of our attention on the data analysis. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.5/27
10 We received support from DOE to run in 2001 We asked for funds to run also in 2002, and it was suggested that we finish our data analysis before asking for additional resources. This enabled us to focus on the key questions, and to put all of our attention on the data analysis. We now understand the experiment much better, and can improve on many aspects, further reducing the systematic errors. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.5/27

Our papers are in the top 1% of most-cited papers. e.g. the SUSY contribution depends on m and tan β, so a µ is useful, even after (if) the mass spectrum is measured. B.

30 Future Goals We are seeking a path to an improved uncertainty of 0.2 ppm, to further clarify the discrepancy/agreement with theory. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.23/27
31 Future Goals We are seeking a path to an improved uncertainty of 0.2 ppm, to further clarify the discrepancy/agreement with theory. We have 9 billion e + e thus far, so that means about 50 billion in an upgraded experiment. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.23/27
32 Future Goals We are seeking a path to an improved uncertainty of 0.2 ppm, to further clarify the discrepancy/agreement with theory. We have 9 billion e + e thus far, so that means about 50 billion in an upgraded experiment. We need to improve the beamline, as well as detectors and electronics. B.

35 Time and Money We think that in 2+ years from now we could rebuild and be ready to run again. The cost would be several $ M for upgrades, and running costs of about $6 M per 5 month run with RHIC. There is a tradeoff between R&D on more muons, and running time. We have working groups which are studying all systems, in order to come up with a plan for the improved experiment. To date we have spent $78 M: construction = $25M; running = $53M. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.25/27

38 Summary E821 was statistics limited. The experiment worked very well, and we understand how to improve it. Driven by our success, Novosibirsk, KLOE, BaBar, and Belle are all working on data to improve the hadronic contribution. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.26/27
39 Summary E821 was statistics limited. The experiment worked very well, and we understand how to improve it. Driven by our success, Novosibirsk, KLOE, BaBar, and Belle are all working on data to improve the hadronic contribution. KLOE will announce a final result this week which confirms the CMD2 results, using a very different technique, strengthening the e + e evaluation! B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.26/27
40 Conclusions For the health and future of the field, we as a community must make sure there is room for small projects with potential large payoffs, as well as the large projects. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.27/27
41 Conclusions For the health and future of the field, we as a community must make sure there is room for small projects with potential large payoffs, as well as the large projects. While HEPAP is not a program committee, you determine the program in HEP. It s crucial for the continued viability of the field that you insist on a balanced program. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.27/27
42 Conclusions For the health and future of the field, we as a community must make sure there is room for small projects with potential large payoffs, as well as the large projects. While HEPAP is not a program committee, you determine the program in HEP. It s crucial for the continued viability of the field that you insist on a balanced program. We believe an upgraded muon (g 2) experiment has an important role to play in that program, and hope that HEPAP will support it. B. Lee Roberts, HEPAP 9 February 2002 p.27/27
