Eighth-Order Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Electron
Abstract
A very preliminary value $(\ensuremath{-}0.8\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2.5){(\frac{\ensuremath{\alpha}}{\ensuremath{\pi}})}^{4}$ is reported for the complete eighth-order QED contribution to the electron anomalous magnetic moment. The large error reflects the difficulty in evaluating the huge integrals involved and will be reduced in the future. Theory and experiment agree within 2 standard deviations. The current result enables us to determine, in a manner based solely upon elementary-particle physics, the fine-structure constant $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ to an accuracy of 0.08 ppm.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
