SHARE 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 u...

Share This The FINANCIAL -- A much-anticipated result from an international science experiment provides strong evidence for the existence of an undiscovered subatomic particle or new force. The result was announced today, from the Muon g-2 experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. It provides tantalising evidence that the elementary particles called muons are not behaving in the way they are supposed to according to the leading theory of physics – the Standard Model, UKRI notes. Scientists from the UK, funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council, have played a ...

Science and Technology Facilities Council Evidence of new physics in highly-anticipated g-2 results A much-anticipated result from an international science experiment provides strong evidence for the existence of an undiscovered subatomic particle or new force. The Muon g-2 ring sits in its detector hall amidst electronics racks, the muon beamline, and other equipment. This impressive experiment operates at negative 450 degrees Fahrenheit and studies the precession (or wobble) of muons as they travel through the magnetic field.

Mar 13 2021 Read 2896 Times A team of engineers and technicians at the STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory and its university partners in the North-West have started production on vital detector components for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) hosted by Fermilab in the US. The UK government has invested £65 million into this major international science experiment which will study elusive neutrinos in a bid to advance our understanding of the origin and structure of the Universe. Scientists will capture the neutrinos in detectors containing 17,000 tons of liquid argon, with the tiny e...

LED lighting. It is estimated they will reduce total UKRI emissions by 1,100 tonnes of CO2-equivalent a year. Sites that will benefit from the funding include: the British Geological Survey (Natural Environment Research Council) the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and Daresbury Laboratory (Science and Technology Facilities Council) London Institute of Medical Sciences (Medical Research Council) UKRI headquarters, Polaris House in Swindon. In April 2020, UKRI published its Environmental Sustainability Strategy, setting out its aim to be ‘net zero’ for carbon emissions within 20 years. Util...
