A subatomic particle called the muon, a particle similar to an electron but about 200 times heavier, could unlock how the physicists’ model that describes how the universe works at a fundamental level is incomplete.Now, scientists have a brand-new me
Particles called muons behave in a way not predicted by scientists' best theory The Muon g-2 ring sits amid electronic racks, the muon beamline and other equipment. April 9, 2021 The first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is not predicted by scientists' best theory, the Standard Model of particle physics. The results are published in the journal The strong evidence that muons deviate from the Standard Model calculation might hint at exciting new physic...
Date Time Share Physics group joins in announcement of stronger evidence of new physics revealed by Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment University of Michigan The first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is not predicted by scientists’ best theory, 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 result of our first year of da...
