The magnetic moment of the muon—a tiny property of a tiny particle—has long puzzled physicists. Experiments and theory haven’t quite matched up, leaving open the thrilling possibility of discovering ...

The final result from the Muon g-2 Experiment has exceeded all expectations, achieving a precision likely to remain unmatched ...

A subatomic particle called the muon is wobbling far more than leading physics models can explain. Its unusual behavior could be evidence of a fifth force of nature or a new dimension. Scientists ...

The way a muon wobbles Developed in the early 1970s, the Standard Model of particle physics generates extremely accurate predictions for three of the known fundamental forces, such as ...

“The anomalous magnetic moment, or g–2, of the muon is important because it provides a sensitive test of the Standard Model of particle physics,” Regina Rameika, the U.S. Department of ...

Baryons are subatomic particles made up of an odd number of quarks. Protons and neutrons found at the center of atoms are a ...

The muon is almost identical to the electron, except that it is 200 times heavier and short-lived, decaying millionths of a second after being created in particle collisions.

While inconclusive at the time, the experiment and its results have tantalized physicists ever since. Muon g-2 particle storage ring in the MC-1 Building. [Photo: Cindy Arnold/Fermilab] ...

The scientists acknowledge, however, that significant technical challenges would have to be overcome to build a muon collider. The potential development of a muon facility is part of a long-term, ...

Fermilab’s ‘muon shot’ could see suburban lab become site of revolutionary particle collider An influential panel of the world’s top particle physicists is recommending exploring building ...

The magnificent muon and its unusual wobble In 2021, physicists using the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab noticed a certain type of subatomic particle, called a muon, was wobbling more than expected.
