Description
The long-standing difference between the measurement and standard-model prediction for the muon's anomalous magnetic moment a_mu may be explained by new weakly interacting particles with masses of a few 100 GeV. Particles of this kind can generally be directly produced at the LHC, and may thus already be constrained by existing data. I discuss this connection between a_mu and the LHC from a model-independent perspective. Combined with LEP data, 8-TeV LHC results already rule out a subset of simplified models. Almost all viable scenarios can be tested conclusively with 14-TeV data.
