From Frontline, July 19, 2018: The Indian magazine gives an overview of the Muon g-2 experiment.

Through an initiative that seeks to strengthen the global scientist network, European researchers contribute to the Mu2e muon experiment and Short-Baseline Neutrino Program at Fermilab.
The latest calculation based on how subatomic muons interact with all known particles comes out just in time for precision measurements at new Muon g-2 experiment.
From Gizmodo, July 3, 2018: The Muon g-2 experiment is slated to release new data about the muon magnetic moment as early as next year, which will inform physicists as to whether there are strange, undiscovered particles out there — or not.
The UK physicist will co-lead the experiment for the next two years.
From Argonne National Laboratory, April 19, 2018: Scientists from Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, along with collaborators from over 25 other institutions, are recreating a previous experiment with much higher precision.
From Live Science, Feb. 8, 2018: Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln writes an article for Live Science on the Muon g-2 experiment and how the results could potentially punch a hole in the reigning Standard Model of particle physics.
From Science, Jan. 25, 2018: Muon g-2 hopes to firm up tantalizing hints from an earlier incarnation of the experiment, which suggested that the particle is ever so slightly more magnetic than predicted by the prevailing standard Model of particle physics.
The 50-foot-wide superconducting electromagnet at the center of the experiment saw its first beam of muon particles from Fermilab’s accelerators, kicking off a three-year effort to measure just what happens to those particles when placed in a stunningly precise magnetic field. The answer could rewrite scientists’ picture of the universe and how it works.
From Nature, April 11, 2017: Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment will measure the muon’s magnetic moment with unparalleled precision, perhaps revealing unknown virtual particles.
