Muon g-2 Experiment Shimming

The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab will use as its primary instrument a 52-foot-wide electromagnet that creates a precise magnetic field. In this video, Fermilab's Brendan Kiburg explains the lengthy process of finely "shimming" that magnetic field into shape. Learn more about the Muon g-2 experiment at http://muon-g-2.fnal.gov.
