*Title of Talk:*

/Muon g-2 and the quest for TeV scale physics/

**

*Abstract:*

One of the most imperative questions in particle physics today is 
whether or not new physics will emerge at the few TeV scale. 
Observational hints for new physics have arisen from several sectors 
with exciting theoretical implications that can potentially be explained 
by supersymmetry,

dark matter, or other exotic models.  One of the most persistent hints 
comes from the Brookhaven muon g-2 experiment, where an ultra-precise 
measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment differs by >3 sigma 
from the theoretical expectation.  The anomalous magnetic moment

of the muon provides a unique window into the TeV scale, and a new 
effort is underway at Fermilab to improve the experimental precision.  A 
review of the physics, the principles behind the experiment, and the 
incredible journey to bring the experiment to the point it is at today 
will be discussed.
