The 9th Plenary Workshop of the Muon g-2 Theory Initiative hosted by the University of Connecticut (UCONN) will be held on August 3-7, 2026. The aim of the workshop is to work towards reducing the total error on the Standard Model value of muon anomalous magnetic moment to the level of the Fermilab experiment (124 ppb) and resolve discrepancies between lattice QCD and data-driven approaches for the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution which dominates the total theoretical uncertainty. This series of workshops began with the formation of the theory initiative in 2017. The first plenary workshop was held near Fermilab in St. Charles, Illinois, in June 2017 and last year's was at the Irène Joliot-Curie Lab (Paris-Saclay) in Bures-sur-Yvette, France, in September 2025. More details and a complete list of workshops can be found on the Muon g-2 Theory Initiative website (follow the above link).
Financial support for early career researcher
There is limited support available for early career attendees. If you are an early career researcher (e.g., graduate student) needing financial support to attend the workshop, please email the local organizers (thomas.blum@uconn.edu and ljin.luchang@gmail.com). The email should include your current position, institution, and advisor and should briefly describe your current research and whether you have submitted an abstract, or not. The deadline for requests is 05/15/2026.
