The g-2 experiment in the South Hall
1966
CERN
Geneva, Switzerland
The muon storage ring which was used in the measurement of the 'g-2' of the muon. This experiment was the most refined test to-date (1969) of the limits of the validity of quantum electrodynamics. A fan of counters to detect the electrons produced as the muons decayed, can be seen inside the ring.
