Abstract
The two-loop electroweak radiative corrections to the muon's anomalous magnetic moment, a(mu) = (g(mu) - 2)/2, are presented. We obtain an o verall 22.6% reduction in the electroweak contribution alpha mu(BW) fr om 195 x 10(-11) to 151(4) x 10(-11). Implications for the full standa rd model prediction and an upcoming high precision measurement of alph a(mu) are briefly discussed. Some aspects of the calculations are disc ussed in detail.
