Muon g-2 Experiment Shimming

[evilcam]

Thanks for the insight into just how precise these experiments have too be. I appreciate that, even though I'm not an engineer and know nothing about design. I merely enjoy learning about the universe, like everyone else, and these machines are what is required to do it. It's like I get to be a part of this pioneering experiment, in a way I otherwise never would have. Please, keep doing this.

This is one of my most anticipated experimental results and i an highly excited for it. I live to see these progress updates, keep it up fermilab!

Good stuff! Very interesting to see the precision engineering of the equipment.

Physicists should strictly use SI units, like the meter, or mm, or µm to describe such experiments.Further details, as how precise and uniform the magnetic field really is, would be greatly appreciated.

I have some experience in having set up metal lathes to within .0005 thousandths or 1/2 of one one thousandths of an inch...I can see what you're doing, vary good work and thank you for video!...

[Doping]

Nice technical details, but it would have been nice to also have some visualization or at least sketches of how the system looks like/what is done for adjustment

As someone who can't hammer in a nail, this is amazing.

[Antropovich]

Umm.. do you have a visualization about the magnetic field you measure? Maybe to show how the magnetic field is at the beginning..and when you have done some corrections mechanically .... and then finally the good enough image for the experiment?

[jackpullen]

Fascinating, thank you Fermilab for putting up such good information at ://Muon-g-2.fal.gov. for a Muon 64 micro seconds is a lifetime...so in the macro if we run across the right strong magnetic field we just might find a muon precession within the field...

[jackpullen]

Oh, I almost forgot to ask this.You keep saying " this is where the Muons live ". My question is, how long will the Muons live there?

As a tau lepton, I find this racist and offensive.
