Description
The current theoretical prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (aμ) in the Standard Model reveals ~5σ discrepancy when compared to experimental results. The primary source of uncertainty in the muon anomaly lies in the leading hadronic contribution to the theoretical prediction of aμ and is expected to be the main limitation in any potential discovery. The MUonE experiment proposes a novel approach to precisely evaluate this hadronic contribution, aiming to increase the significance of the observed discrepancy. The experimental method relies on precisely measuring the of hadronic contribution to aμ in the space-like momentum region through the μe → μe elastic scattering
process.
