2021-04-07: Why the Muon g-2 Results Are So Exciting!

  • 01:18: And that's the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the muon.
  • 01:35: What's an anomalous magnetic dipole moment?
  • 01:41: We've actually talked at about the anomalous magnetic dipole moment before in terms of the electron.
  • 06:34: By the way, the anomalous in the anomalous magnetic dipole moment, refers to that little bit extra after the two.

2018-08-15: Quantum Theory's Most Incredible Prediction

  • 01:53: ... measuring the G factor, or in simple English, measuring the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the ...
  • 02:10: What is the anomalous magnetic dipole moment?
  • 02:14: Well, it's just like the regular magnetic dipole moment but more anomalous.
  • 02:21: Let's break down these magnetic dipole moment thing.
  • 02:42: The tendency of a dipole magnet to rotate in an external magnetic field is its magnetic dipole moment.
  • 02:50: ... with a dipole magnetic field has a magnetic dipole moment is basically a measure of how much it would interact with an external ...
  • 04:20: So electrons have a magnetic dipole moment, meaning they feel magnetic fields and act as little bar magnets.
  • 05:09: ... fact, weirdly, if you measure the magnetic dipole moment of an electron, you get almost exactly twice the value you'd expect for ...
  • 07:02: And this is the anomalous magnetic dipole moment.
  • 09:04: ... interaction with the magnetic field when we calculate the electrons magnetic dipole moment and it's G ...
