    Quantum Transport in Two-Channel Fractional Quantum Hall Edges

    Full text link
    We study the effect of backward scatterings in the tunneling at a point contact between the edges of a second level hierarchical fractional quantum Hall states. A universal scaling dimension of the tunneling conductance is obtained only when both of the edge channels propagate in the same direction. It is shown that the quasiparticle tunneling picture and the electron tunneling picture give different scaling behaviors of the conductances, which indicates the existence of a crossover between the two pictures. When the direction of two edge-channels are opposite, e.g. in the case of MacDonald's edge construction for the ν=2/3\nu=2/3 state, the phase diagram is divided into two domains giving different temperature dependence of the conductance.Comment: 21 pages (REVTeX and 1 Postscript figure

    We present the first results of the Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment for the positive muon magnetic anomaly aμ(gμ2)/2a_\mu \equiv (g_\mu-2)/2. The anomaly is determined from the precision measurements of two angular frequencies. Intensity variation of high-energy positrons from muon decays directly encodes the difference frequency ωa\omega_a between the spin-precession and cyclotron frequencies for polarized muons in a magnetic storage ring. The storage ring magnetic field is measured using nuclear magnetic resonance probes calibrated in terms of the equivalent proton spin precession frequency ω~p{\tilde{\omega}'^{}_p} in a spherical water sample at 34.7^{\circ}C. The ratio ωa/ω~p\omega_a / {\tilde{\omega}'^{}_p}, together with known fundamental constants, determines aμ(FNAL)=116592040(54)×1011a_\mu({\rm FNAL}) = 116\,592\,040(54)\times 10^{-11} (0.46\,ppm). The result is 3.3 standard deviations greater than the standard model prediction and is in excellent agreement with the previous Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) E821 measurement. After combination with previous measurements of both μ+\mu^+ and μ\mu^-, the new experimental average of aμ(Exp)=116592061(41)×1011a_\mu({\rm Exp}) = 116\,592\,061(41)\times 10^{-11} (0.35\,ppm) increases the tension between experiment and theory to 4.2 standard deviationsComment: 10 pages; 4 figure

    We present details on a new measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly, aμ=(gμ2)/2a_\mu = (g_\mu -2)/2. The result is based on positive muon data taken at Fermilab's Muon Campus during the 2019 and 2020 accelerator runs. The measurement uses 3.13.1 GeV/c/c polarized muons stored in a 7.17.1-m-radius storage ring with a 1.451.45 T uniform magnetic field. The value of aμ a_{\mu} is determined from the measured difference between the muon spin precession frequency and its cyclotron frequency. This difference is normalized to the strength of the magnetic field, measured using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The ratio is then corrected for small contributions from beam motion, beam dispersion, and transient magnetic fields. We measure aμ=116592057(25)×1011a_\mu = 116 592 057 (25) \times 10^{-11} (0.21 ppm). This is the world's most precise measurement of this quantity and represents a factor of 2.22.2 improvement over our previous result based on the 2018 dataset. In combination, the two datasets yield aμ(FNAL)=116592055(24)×1011a_\mu(\text{FNAL}) = 116 592 055 (24) \times 10^{-11} (0.20 ppm). Combining this with the measurements from Brookhaven National Laboratory for both positive and negative muons, the new world average is aμa_\mu(exp) =116592059(22)×1011 = 116 592 059 (22) \times 10^{-11} (0.19 ppm)
