J. MarcianoBrookhaven National Laboratory Title:The
Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment: A Harbinger For "New Physics" Abstract: The
anomalous magnetic moment, g-2, of the muon is being measured at Brookhaven
National Laboratory to better than 1 part per million. Recent results indicate
a deviation by 2.6 sigma from theoretical expectations. If confirmed, the
effect could be a harbinger of exciting new physics such as supersymmetry
which might dramatically alter our perception of space-time. In this talk,
the history, current status and future expectations of anomalous magnetic
moment experiments and theory are described. Implications of a deviation
for future high energy physics experiments are also discussed. DATE:Thursday,
