On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a three-year study to set a ...

After six years of collecting data, the muon g-2 experiment released its results and could chart a new path for particle physics.

The Standard Model of particle physics—the best, most thoroughly vetted description of reality scientists have ever devised—appears to have fended off yet another threat to its reign. The muon ...

The deviant behavior of a subatomic particle might point to undiscovered forms of matter and energy in the universe. ... The Muon g-2 ring in its detector hall at Fermilab in Batavia, Ill., in 2017.

The Standard Model of particle physics—the best, most thoroughly vetted description of reality scientists have ever devised—appears to have fended off yet another threat to its reign. The muon ...

After six years of collecting data, the muon g-2 experiment released its results and could chart a new path for particle physics. This Particle Isn’t Following the Rules of Physics. Maybe the ...

Final results from a long-running U.S.-based experiment show a tiny particle continues to act strangely -- but that’s still good news for the laws of physics as we know them.

The most exciting possible avenue for physics beyond the standard model of particle physics has been, for years, the discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. After refinement in ...

The LHC was home to breakthrough science confirming the Higgs boson, the particle whose associated field gives other fundamental particles their mass. For many scientists (including Holmes and her ...

For nearly a century, the magnetic anomaly of the fundamental particle known as a muon has served as a means to test theories against experimental reality. Recently, an international collaboration ...

In a simple world, the value of g should be a nice, neat 2 – but of course, that would be too easy. The muon's magnetic dance is something of an anomaly, and in the same way that pi is just a ...
