There is strong evidence for a new force of nature, said physicists working on an international science experiment.
Researchers from the UK s Science and Technology Facilities Council cited a much-anticipated result from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, in the US.
The Muon g-2 experiment provided evidence that elementary particles, called muons, are not behaving in the way they are supposed to, according to the leading theory of physics, known as the Standard Model.
It is an exciting time to be a particle physicist. We know that our current understanding of the universe is incomplete
Prof Mark Thomson, executive chair of the Science and Technology Facilities Council

A Physics Breakthrough: More Evidence of New Particles or Forces
This donut-shaped ring is a racetrack for particles called muons. It operates at negative 450 degrees Fahrenheit, and physicists use the machine to study muons as they travel through a magnetic field.

New results from a massive experiment double down on indicating undiscovered influences on particles called muons
April 7, 2021 Twitter Facebook
There are still-undiscovered particles or unknown forces swirling all around us, suggest new results from a massive experiment conducted at the US Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Illinois. The findings were analyzed with the help of more than 200 scientists from 35 institutions in seven countries, including physicists from Boston University.

Scientists Describe Detector Goals for Electron-Ion Collider (EIC)
International community of EIC scientists publishes yellow report laying out physics case, detector requirements, and evolving detector concepts for future nuclear physics facility
March 16, 2021
The EIC Yellow Report is published in three volumes: an executive summary, a detailed description of the physics, and a discussion of detector concepts.

UPTON, NY What do you need to study the fine details of the building blocks of matter? A new kind of particle accelerator called an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) planned to be built in the United States over the next decade and a state-of-the-art detector to capture the action when electrons and ions collide. As part of the plan to build the EIC, an international team of more than 400 scientists representing 151 research institutions around the world prepared a detailed report of the detector
