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.
Fatemi is being honored for “contributions to the understanding of the spin and momentum structure of quarks and gluons in the proton through the novel development and application of jet reconstruction tools in polarized proton collisions.”
On a February Zoom call, a team of University of Kentucky professors held their breath alongside hundreds of their colleagues across the country, waiting to find out the results of three years of work.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April, 7, 2021) — A team of faculty and students from the University of Kentucky Department of Physics and Astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences, supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), has contributed to a major experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab). The landmark results, announced today, are changing how physicists understand the subatomic world. Fermilab’s three-year Muon g-2 experiment revealed that fundamental particles, called muons, behave in a way not predicted by the Standard Model of ...
