A measurement using a one-electron quantum cyclotron gives the electron magnetic moment in Bohr magnetons, g/2 = 1.001 159 652 180 73 (28) [0.28 ppt], with an uncertainty 2.7 and 15 times smaller than for previous measurements in 2006 and 1987. The electron is used as a magnetometer to allow lineshape statistics to accumulate, and its spontaneous emission rate determines the correction for its interaction with a cylindrical trap cavity. The new measurement and QED theory determine the fine structure constant, with alpha^{-1} = 137.035 999 084 (51) [0.37 ppb], and an uncertainty 20 times smaller than for any independent determination of alpha.

  1. LFV decays in a 3-4-1 model with minimal inverse seesaw neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In a 3-4-1 model with minimal inverse seesaw, strong correlations are predicted between (g-2) anomalies and LFV decay rates, with the tau to muon gamma decay bound limiting the muon anomaly deviation to 10^{-9}.
