Two prominent efforts aimed at probing beyond Standard Model physics, searches for a neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) and measurements of the muon g-2 anomalous magnetic moment, employ spin precession techniques. In the most recent neutron EDM experiment, frequency shifts induced by magnetic field gradients and E × v motional fields were a significant source of systematic error. We consider the possibility of a similar effect in the most recent muon g-2 experiment, and find that such an effect could potentially be as large as ∼ 1 ppm fractional error, to be compared with the reported ∼ 0.5 ppm error.
