Despite that the Standard Model has been put through many stringent tests, it still can not be the full picture of particle physics. In this short talk, we give an overview of the motivations to go beyond the Standard Model and discuss a few plausible scenarios in its extension.

The Muon $g-2$ Experiment (E989) is measuring the magnetic anomaly, $a_\mu$, of the muon to 140 parts per billion (ppb) to resolve the outstanding discrepancy between the value predicted by the Standard Model and the best measurement to date. The magnetic anomaly receives contributions from loops of any particle type in the muon-photon vertex, so a discrepancy between theory and experiment is...

The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab (E989) aims to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_{\mu}$, to a precision of $140$ ppb, a four-fold increase in precision over the previous experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The value of $a_{\mu}$ from BNL currently differs from the Standard Model prediction by $\sim 3.5$ standard deviations or higher, suggesting the...

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for the charged-lepton flavour violating neutrino-less conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of an aluminum nucleus.
The Mu2e detector is composed of a tracker and an electromagnetic
calorimeter and an external veto for cosmic rays.
The calorimeter plays an important role in providing excellent particle identification...
