But if the muon doesn’t always look like physicists expect it to look, that is a sign that the Standard Model is incomplete, and some hitherto unknown physics is at play.

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

The muon is an elementary particle about 207 times as massive as the electron. For about 20 years, scientists have considered the muon a potential venue for the discovery of new physics.

The latest data from the Muon g−2 experiment corroborates previous results, but clashing theoretical predictions leave physicists without a clear conclusion. Skip to main content.

“The Fermilab experiment is hugely successful, they did their job,” said Aida El-Khadra, a physicist at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign who leads the Muon g-2 Theory Initiative ...

Muon Space is one of several startups looking to put others into space but with a special expertise in Earth observation and building the full stack from satellite bus to data on the ground.

This isn’t the end for measuring the muon magnetic anomaly—the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex aims to make its own g-2 measurements in the 2030s (though Fermilab says that its ...

Space-as-a-service startup Muon Space closed a $56.7 million fundraising round to scale its satellite platform, while also announcing a new deal with defense giant Sierra Nevada Corp. . California ...

Cosmic rays are high-energy particles from outer space that strike Earth's atmosphere, generating showers of secondary particles, such as muons, that can reach the planet's surface. In recent ...
