The muon's magnetic moment fits just fine A new estimate of the strength of the sub-atomic particle's magnetic field aligns with the standard model of particle physics The muon's magnetic moment fits just fine Sam Sholtis April 07, 2021 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An extensive new calculation of the strength of the magnetic field around the muon — a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, an electron — closes the gap between theory and experimental measurements, bringing it in line with the standard model that has guided particle physics for decades. A paper describing the research...
