This research monograph covers extensively the theory of the muon
anomalous magnetic moment and provides estimates of the theoretical
uncertainties. The muon anomalous magnetic moment is one of the
most precisely measured quantities in elementary particle physics
and provides one of the most stringent tests of relativistic
quantum field theory as a fundamental theoretical framework. It
allows for an extremely precise check of the standard model of
elementary particles and of its limitations. This book reviews the
present state of knowledge of the anomalous magnetic moment
a=(g-2)/2 of the muon. Recent experiments at the Brookhaven
National Laboratory now reach the unbelievable precision of 0.5
parts per million, improving the accuracy of previous g-2
experiments at CERN by a factor of 14. In addition, quantum
electrodynamics and electroweak and hadronic effects are reviewed.
Since non-perturbative hadronic effects play a key role for the
precision test, their evaluation is described in detail.
Perspectives for future improvements of the theoretical and
experimental precision are considered. The new edition features
improved theoretical predictions to match upcoming experiments,
like the one at Fermilab. Additionally the new more precise basic
parameters are presented.
