The MUonE experiment: a novel way to measure the leading order hadronic contribution to the muon g-2

Abstract

We present the status of the MUonE experimental proposal which aims at determining the leading order hadronic contribution to the muon g-2 by measuring the hadronic part of the photon vacuum polarization in the spacelike region. The challenges posed by this measurement on the detector, the proposed solution, and the status of this proposal will be discussed.
