The deviance of a tiny particle called the muon might prove that one of the most well-tested theories in physics is incomplete.

Muons continue to challenge our understanding of physics and the universe.

The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their understanding of physics - perhaps some unknown particle or force. Researchers on Thursday announced new findings about the muon (pronounced MEW-on), a magnetic and negatively charged particle similar to its cousin the electron but 200 times more massive, in their experiment at the U.S. Energy Department's Fermi National Acce...

Physicists believe that an unknown force could be acting on sub-atomic particles known as muons.

An international collaboration of scientists, including researchers from UK, is working on Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment. Today, Fermilab released the world’s most precise measurement yet of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon particle, bringing physics closer to the ultimate showdown between theory and experiment, that may uncover new particles or forces.

The Muon g-2 Collaboration has doubled the precision of their 2021 measurement of the muon’s magnetic moment, strengthening a tension with predictions based on the standard model.

Muon g2 experiment. Fermilab Despite its tremendous success in predicting the existence of new particles and forces, the Standard Model of particle physics , designed over 50 years ago to explain the smallest building blocks of nature, isn’t the complete “theory of everything” physicists have been longing for. The theory has several problems . It neither describes gravity nor the unknown components that make up most of the energy density in the universe: dark matter and dark energy. Partic...
