abstract
Measurements of the fine-structure constant alpha require methods from across subfields and are thus powerful tests of the consistency of theory and experiment in physics. Using the recoil frequency of cesium-133 atoms in a matter-wave interferometer, we recorded the most accurate measurement of the fine-structure constant to date: alpha = 1/137.035999046(27) at 2.0 x 10^-10 accuracy. Using multiphoton interactions (Bragg diffraction and Bloch oscillations), we demonstrate the largest phase (12 million radians) of any Ramsey-Borde interferometer and control systematic effects at a level of 0.12 parts per billion. Comparison with Penning trap measurements of the electron gyromagnetic anomaly ge-2 via the Standard Model of particle physics is now limited by the uncertainty in ge-2; a 2.5 sigma tension rejects dark photons as the reason for the unexplained part of the muon's magnetic moment at a 99 percent confidence level. Implications for dark-sector candidates and electron substructure may be a sign of physics beyond the Standard Model that warrants further investigation.

A rescaled difference a_μ-e of lepton g-2 values cancels short-distance effects and cuts hadronic vacuum polarization uncertainty by ~85%, offering a cleaner probe for sub-GeV new physics.
This work provides a comprehensive analysis of light new physics contributions to tau lepton dipole moments, detailing interpretations of asymmetry measurements for spin-0 and spin-1 bosons, their decoupling to the EFT limit, and a case study of a tauphilic vector boson at Belle II.
A general framework quantifies correlation-induced uncertainties in precision data combinations and applies it to e+e- to hadrons cross sections for muon g-2 HVP determinations.
The updated SM prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment is 116592033(62)×10^{-11}, showing no tension with the experimental average of 38(63)×10^{-11}.
Future lepton colliders can improve existing constraints on the tau lepton's dipole moments by several orders of magnitude through complementary channels.
In a simplified ALP model with flavor-violating e-μ couplings, constraints from Δa_e, μ→3e, and other processes limit the branching ratio of μ⁻e⁻→e⁻e⁻ in aluminum muonic atoms to O(10^{-20}), with resonant regions more suppressed.
Next-to-leading order spurion effects in a minimal lepton flavor deconstruction model induce observable charged lepton flavor violation, lepton flavor universality violation, and electric dipole moments at multi-10 TeV scales.
A gauged U(1)_{Lμ−Lτ} dark sector with kinetic mixing can simultaneously accommodate the muon anomalous magnetic moment excess and the observed dark matter relic density.
The Standard Model value for the muon anomalous magnetic moment is 116591810(43)×10^{-11}, 3.7σ below the Brookhaven experimental measurement.
