This book provides a self-contained description of the measurements of the magnetic dipole moments of the electron and muon, along with a discussion of the measurements of the fine structure constant, and the theory associated with magnetic and electric dipole moments. Also included are the searches for a permanent electric dipole moment of the electron, muon, neutron and atomic nuclei. The related topic of the transition moment for lepton flavor violating processes, such as neutrinoless muon or tauon decays, and the search for such processes are included as well. The papers, written by many of the leading authors in this field, cover both the experimental and theoretical aspects of these topics.Contents:Historical Introduction (B L Roberts)Electromagnetic Dipole Moments and New Physics (A Czarnecki & W J Marciano)Lepton g – 2 from 1947 to Present (T Kinoshita)Analytic QED Calculations of the Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Electron (S Laporta & E Remiddi)Measurements of the Electron Magnetic Moment (G Gabrielse)Determining the Fine Structure Constant (G Gabrielse)Helium Fine Structure Theory for the Determination of α (K Pachucki & J Sapirstein)Hadronic Vacuum Polarization and the Lepton Anomalous Magnetic Moments (M Davier)The Hadronic Light-by-Light Contribution to aμ,e (J Prades et al.)General Prescriptions for One-loop Contributions to ae,μ (K R Lynch)Measurement of the Muon (g – 2) Value (J P Miller et al.)Muon (g – 2) and Physics Beyond the Standard Model (D Stöckinger)Probing CP Violation with Electric Dipole Moments (M Pospelov & A Ritz)The Electric Dipole Moment of the Electron (E D Commins & D DeMille)Neutron EDM Experiments (S K Lamoreaux & R Golub)Nuclear Electric Dipole Moments (W C Griffith et al.)EDM Measurements in Storage Rings (B L Roberts et al.)Models of Lepton Flavor Violation (Y Okada)Search for the Charged Lepton-Flavor-Violating Transition Moments l → l′ (Y Kuno)Readership: Researchers and graduate students in particle physics, atomic physics and nuclear physics, as well as experts working in the field.
