Anomalous Magnetic Moment: Source and Explanation
Richard Lighthouse · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2014
This paper explains the anomalous magnetic moment for all elementary particles and composite particles (such as the proton). The special case regarding the Muon anomaly is addressed. It also presents a summary of the issues in accurately measuring the magnetic dipole moment for elementary particles. The explanation provided involves simple math and probabilities. It is not complex, such as Yang-Mills and related theories. In summary, there is no anomaly. The measurement of the magnetic moment is a time-averaged value for 16 different particles. Areas for further research are suggested. For example, in measuring the magnetic moment of an electron, it is assumed there is only one kind of electron. In fact, there are 16 different types of electrons -- 4 charges X 4 spins. To properly measure the magnetic moment for a single particle – the data must be sampled much faster, at 2.2 THz or faster.
