Abstract

The muon has been instrumental in establishing the Standard Model of particle physics and continues to play a key role in exploring the nature of New Physics. A global program is underway to enhance the discovery potential of a wide range of muon probes, with significant increases in sensitivity anticipated over the next decade. In this review, we examine recent experimental advancements in the study of muon decays, the determination of the muon magnetic and electric dipole moments, and the search for charged lepton flavor-violating transitions. We explore the implications for scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model and focus on models involving light new particles, such as axions and hidden sectors. Opportunities from novel experimental concepts and proposals for new muon facilities are also discussed.

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science is a publication that has been available since 1952. It focuses on various aspects of nuclear and particle science, including both theoretical and experimental developments. The journal covers topics such as nuclear structure, heavy ion interactions, oscillations observed in solar and atmospheric neutrinos, the physics of heavy quarks, the impact of particle and nuclear physics on astroparticle physics, and recent advancements in accelerator design and instrumentation. One significant recent change in the journal is the conversion of its current volume from gated to open access. This conversion was made possible through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program. As a result, all articles published in the current volume are now freely available to the public under a CC BY license. This change allows for greater accessibility and dissemination of research in the field of nuclear and particle science.
