Fundamental particles called muons behave in a way that scientists’ best theory to date, the Standard Model of particle physics, doesn’t predict, researchers report. The finding comes from the first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at the US Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. “This experiment is a bit like a detective story.” This landmark result confirms a discrepancy that has been gnawing at researchers for decades. The strong evidence that muons deviate from the Standard Model calculation might hint at exciting new physics. The muons in this experi...

Posted Today The first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have revealed that fundamental particles called muons behave in a way that is not predicted by scientists’ best theory to date, the Standard Model of particle physics. This landmark result, published in Physical Review Letters, confirms a discrepancy that has been gnawing at researchers for decades. The strong evidence that muons deviate from the Standard Model calculation might hint at exciting new physics. The muons in this experiment act as a windo...
