Abstract
The aim of the Muon g − 2 Experiment at Fermilab (E989) is to measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment (aμ) with a relative precision of 140 parts- per-billion (ppb). This precision, which is a factor of four improvement from the current experimental result, will allow for a much more stringent test of the Standard Model. This paper present the current status of the experimental measurement of aμ after the first physics run.

Report
Concise report on the progress made towards the anxiously awaited new measurement of the muon's anomalous magnetic moment. Well written, with a clear focus on the improvements made w.r.t. the earlier Brookhaven measurement.
