We present the first results of the Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) Muon g−2 Experiment for the positive muon magnetic anomaly aμ≡(gμ−2)/2. The anomaly is determined from the precision measurements of two angular frequencies. Intensity variation of high-energy positrons from muon decays directly encodes the difference frequency ωa between the spin-precession and cyclotron frequencies for polarized muons in a magnetic storage ring. The storage ring magnetic field is measured using nuclear magnetic resonance probes calibrated in terms of the equivalent proton spin precession frequency ω˜p′ in a spherical water sample at 34.7 °C. The ratio ωa/ω˜p′, together with known fundamental constants, determines aμ(FNAL)=116 592 040(54)×10−11 (0.46 ppm). The result is 3.3 standard deviations greater than the standard model prediction and is in excellent agreement with the previous Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) E821 measurement. After combination with previous measurements of both μ+ and μ−, the new experimental average of aμ(Exp)=116 592 061(41)×10−11 (0.35 ppm) increases the tension between experiment and theory to 4.2 standard deviations.

We study B→K(*)ℓ+ℓ− decays (ℓ=e, μ) based on a data sample of 657×106 BB¯ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e− collider. We report the differential branching fraction, isospin asymmetry, K* polarization, and the forward-backward asymmetry (AFB) as functions of q2=Mℓℓ2c2. The fitted AFB spectrum exceeds the standard model expectation by 2.7 standard deviations. The measured branching fractions are B(B→K*ℓ+ℓ−)=(10.7−1.0+1.1±0.9)×10−7 and B(B→Kℓ+ℓ−)=(4.8−0.4+0.5±0.3)×10−7, where the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic, with the muon to electron ratios RK*=0.83±0.17±0.08 and RK=1.03±0.19±0.06.

The Muon g−2 Experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) has measured the muon anomalous precession frequency ωam to an uncertainty of 434 parts per billion (ppb), statistical, and 56 ppb, systematic, with data collected in four storage ring configurations during its first physics run in 2018. When combined with a precision measurement of the magnetic field of the experiment’s muon storage ring, the precession frequency measurement determines a muon magnetic anomaly of aμ(FNAL)=116 592 040(54)×10−11 (0.46 ppm). This article describes the multiple techniques employed in the reconstruction, analysis, and fitting of the data to measure the precession frequency. It also presents the averaging of the results from the 11 separate determinations of ωam, and the systematic uncertainties on the result.

We report a measurement of the exclusive e+e−→Λc+Λc− cross section as a function of center-of-mass energy near the Λc+Λc− threshold. A clear peak with a significance of 8.2σ is observed in the Λc+Λc− invariant mass distribution just above threshold. With an assumption of a resonance origin for the observed peak, a mass and width of M=[4634−7+8(stat)−8+5(syst)]  MeV/c2 and Γtot=[92−24+40(stat)−21+10(syst)]  MeV are determined. The analysis is based on a study of events with initial-state-radiation photons in a data sample collected with the Belle detector at the Υ(4S) resonance and nearby continuum with an integrated luminosity of 695  fb−1 at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider.

We report the first observation of two resonancelike structures in the π+χc1 invariant mass distribution near 4.1  GeV/c2 in exclusive B¯0→K−π+χc1 decays. From a Dalitz plot analysis in which the π+χc1 mass structures are represented by Breit-Wigner resonance amplitudes, we determine masses and widths of: M1=(4051±14−41+20)  MeV/c2, Γ1=(82−17−22+21+47)  MeV, M2=(4248−29−35+44+180)  MeV/c2, and Γ2=(177−39−61+54+316)  MeV; and product branching fractions of B(B¯0→K−Z1,2+)×B(Z1,2+→π+χc1)=(3.0−0.8−1.6+1.5+3.7)×10−5 and (4.0−0.9−0.5+2.3+19.7)×10−5, respectively. Here the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic. The significance of each of the π+χc1 structures exceeds 5σ, including the systematic uncertainty from various fit models. This analysis is based on 657×106 BB¯ events collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider.
