Abstract:
A pioneering experiment designed to search for New Physics phenomena in sectors beyond searches at LHC is the MUonE experiment at the CERN SPS, planned to be operating in 2022-2026. Its research program is related to a precise measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment. An intriguing discrepancy of measured value of this observable with respect to the Standard Model predictions can be observed. In order to ultimately confirm this premise, a high accuracy measurement is needed, employing an elastic muon-electron scattering process. This will allow for the precise determination of the hadronic contribution to the anomalous muon magnetic moment, representing a major source of uncertainty for the theoretical predictions. The IFJ PAN MUonE group actively participate in all crucial stages of the MUonE experiment, starting from detector design and simulation, through preparation of event reconstruction algorithms, and ending up with data analysis.
