physicists using the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab noticed a certain type of subatomic particle, called a muon, was wobbling more than expected. Scientists at Brookhaven National Lab had ...

A tense particle-physics showdown will reach new heights in 2025. Over the past 25 years researchers have seen a persistent and growing discrepancy between the theoretical predictions and experimental ...

"Precise determination of the muon's magnetic moment has become a key issue in particle physics because investigation of this gap between the experimental data and the theoretical prediction can ...

(CNN)-- Visiting a particle accelerator is like a religious experience, at least for Nima Arkani-Hamed. Immense detectors surround the areas where inconceivably small particles slam into one another ...

Neutrinos are very mysterious particles,” says Damien Dornic, one of the co-authors of a new paper published February 12 in Nature that describes the detection of the decay products of an extremely ...

Even though the KM3NeT detected a flash of light from an electron-like muon — not a neutrino — it was the qualities of this elementary particle that indicated it had been created when an ...

More specifically, the team operating the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS ... including the standard model of particle physics, which is founded on special relativity. "Remnants of such Lorentz ...

Two years ago, a neutrino collided with matter and produced a tiny particle called a muon that pinged through the underwater detector, producing flashes of blue light. The researchers worked backward ...
