Testing the Standard Model at the precision frontier: the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon
2014
The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g − 2)μ is one of the most precisely measured quantities in particle physics (0.54 ppm). There is a long-standing discrepancy of 3-4 standard deviations between the direct measurement of (g − 2)μ and its theoretical evaluation. This theoretical prediction is subdivided into three contributions: QED, weak and hadronic. The QED and weak parts can be determined in perturbative approaches with very high precision. Thus, the hadronic uncertainty dominates the total theoretical uncer- tainty. Within the hadronic uncertainty, the largest contribution stems from the vacuum polarization term, which can be evaluated with the measurement of the inclusive hadr…
Synthesis and Topological Determination of Hexakis-Substituted 1,4-Ditritylbenzene and Nonakis-Substituted 1,3,5-Tritritylbenzene Derivatives: Buildi…
2012
Based on trityl moieties, novel organic building blocks have been prepared and structurally investigated. Substituted hexaphenyl-p-xylene (1,4-ditritylbenzene) as well as extended analogues thereof were prepared. Furthermore, a new family based on a 1,3,5-tritritylbenzene motif, connecting three trityl groups through a formal mesitylene unit, was developed. Both families were further converted through six- and nine-fold substitution reactions, respectively, to yield potent molecular building blocks for supramolecular assemblies.
