The long-standing discrepancy between the experimental value and the Standard Model (SM) prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon remains one of fundamental parameters in Quantum Field Theory that still lacks an explanation. The discrepancy could be due to the presence of new physics, or to a lack of precision in the determination of the expected SM value or perhaps to a lack of precision in experimental measurements.
The MUonE experiment aims at providing a completely new and independent experimental measurement of the hadronic contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, allowing a direct comparison to theoretical expectations.
Matteo Bonanomi worked with the MUonE collaboration for his Master thesis. Currently, he is a PhD student in the CMS group of LLR, working on test beam analysis for high granularity calorimeters and differential Higgs boson measurements.
