Title: Recent news from the vacuum? The Muon g-2 1.3 parts per million result.

Abstract: 

The muon g-2 experiment, E821 has recently reported a new result at the
accuracy of 1.3 ppm.  This value is higher than the theoretical value
by 2.6 standard deviations.  The physics context of this measurement,
the experiment, and the analysis leading to this new result will be
presented.
