Lecture slides, apparently a conference or seminar talk, on experimental tests of quantum electrodynamics. They cover the anomalous magnetic moment and its QED, hadronic and weak contributions, the BNL muon g-2 storage ring result compared with theory, and Gabrielse's single-electron Penning trap g-2 measurement. Further slides treat the fine structure constant determination, CPT tests, and the quantum Hall effect with Landau levels. Origin in Phil's files is not stated; text is slide fragments with some garbling.
