Description

We propose a next-generation precision measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon g−2) at the High Intensity Heavy-Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) in Huizhou, China. The project, named CANTON-μ (Coherent Anomalous magNetic momenT ObservatioN with muon), describes novel experimental approaches based on HIAF's intense pulsed GeV muons, particularly for negative-muon polarity. This independent measurement with distinct systematics is designed to achieve a precision of 0.1 ppm in Phase 1, matching the latest Fermilab precision, and 0.05 ppm in Phase 2 with the HIAF upgrade. Such precision will provide an exceptionally sensitive test of the Standard Model and a powerful probe of New Physics and CPT symmetry.
