In this article, I will calculate the last anomalous magnetic moment in this series, the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, the g-2 electron. The calculation will be done using transcendentals but in a slightly different way than in the g-2 muon case. Again, the final result agrees perfectly (12-digit accuracy) with the experimental value.
Before I start, I would like to explain to the reader (if necessary) what this anomalous magnetic moment is. Basically, it is a g-factor of the electron (or muon and tau) less by the value 2.0 and then the result is divided by 2.0, that’s all there is. If one wants to see the explanation from Fermi Labs and Wikipedia, here are the links:
Now we can go back to Step C and calculate ( 380 / 3 )( 1 / E ) ( this will be part of Eqn. 1)
F = ( 380 / 3 )( 1 / E ) = 126.6668358
Final Step G:
Now we can obtain the value of the anomalous magnetic moment of an electron:
G = A – F = ( g-2 ELECTRON EXPERIMENT ) / 1E7 =
G = (( A = S5Vx④P = 11723.1886417 ) – ( F = ( 380 / 3 )( 1 / E ) = 126.6668358 )) / 1E7 =
G = ( 11596.5218059 / 1E7 ) = 0.00115965218059
And,
Result of ( g-2 ELECTRON EXPERIMENT ) = 0.00115965218059
Versus Laboratory Experiment value from 2023,
Experimental value of g-2 electronEXPERIMENT = 0.00115965218059(13)
The results are identical, again showing the power of transcendental constants.
HP Prime Calculator has only 12-digit accuracy. Once it is done through FORTRAN, the number of significant digits will increase substantially.
The next articles will be on the g-factors of the proton, neutron, electron, and muon. Unless, I can see that this is enough heavy calculations, so, I will proceed with Mathematics behind this, and only after some posts I will go back to the calculation of the g-factors again.
