Magnetic dipole moment The magnetic moment of a particle is related to its spin g For Dirac pointlike particle : g=2 Anomalous magnetic moment For the proton : ap1.8 because the proton is composite particle.
g - 2 0 for the muon Largest contribution : Some of other contributions : hadronic QED weak New physics ?
Why muon? proportional to m2. The muon is a point particle, so far. (Hadrons, like p and n, are composite particles.) The effects from heavy particles are generally proportional to m2. The muon lives long enough for us to measure.

How to measure a In the parity violated decay , e+ are emitted preferentially along the muon spin direction in muon rest frame. And e+ emitted along the muon momentum direction get large Lorentz boost and have high energy in laboratory frame. Hence, a is determined by counting the high energy e+ .

Electroweak Contributions
Hadronic contribution (LO) Cannot be calculated from pQCD alone because it involves low energy scales near the muon mass. However, by dispersion theory, this a(had,1) can be related to measured in e+e- collision or indirectly in decay.
