Abstract: We determine the order of magnitude of $mathbbE|su{m}_{nleqx}f(n){|}^{2q}$ up to factors of size $e^{O(q^2)}$, where $f(n)$ is a Steinhaus or Rademacher random multiplicative function, for all real $1leqqleqfracclogxloglogx$. In the Steinhaus case, we show that $mathbbE|su{m}_{nleqx}f(n){|}^{2q}=e^{O(q^2)}{x}^q(fraclogxqlog(2q){)}^{(q-1{)}^2}$ on this whole range. In the Rademacher case, we find a transition in the behaviour of the moments when $qapprox(1+sqrt5)/2$, where the size starts to be dominated by "orthogonal" rather than "unitary" behaviour. We also deduce some consequences for the large deviations of $su{m}_{nleqx}f(n)$. The proofs use various tools, including hypercontractive inequalities, to connect $mathbbE|su{m}_{nleqx}f(n){|}^{2q}$ with the $q$-th moment of an Euler product integral. When $q$ is large, it is then fairly easy to analyse this integral. When $q$ is close to 1 the analysis seems to require subtler arguments, including Doob's $L^p$ maximal inequality for martingales.
