Description
The Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment measures the muon's anomalous magnetic moment to a precision of less than 140 parts per billion. The value is proportional to the anomalous spin precession frequency in the presence of a uniform magnetic field, for muons contained within the g-2 storage ring. Spin precession frequency is extracted from the time distribution of the muon's decay positrons recorded by 24 electromagnetic calorimeters positioned around the inner circumference of the storage ring. In this presentation, I will discuss the various approaches to the frequency extraction, including the reconstruction, time distribution fitting, and procedures for handling gain effects and the muon beam's radial oscillations.
