When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered something ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: 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 ...

Batavia, Ill., June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scientists working on the Muon g-2 experiment, hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, have released their ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If there's one thing you can count on physicists for, it's to keep an ...

Due to the large amount of additional data that is going into the 2023 analysis announcement, the Muon g-2 collaboration’s latest result is more than twice as precise as the first result announced in ...

In the world of particle physics, you are never alone — quite literally. Every moment there is an invisible rainstorm of subatomic particles falling down on us from space. Unlike the kind of matter we ...

The magnetic moment of the muon is an important precision parameter for putting the standard model of particle physics to the test. After years of work, the research group led by Professor Hartmut ...

Muons might not behave as expected. But scientists can’t agree on what to expect. By taking stock of how the subatomic particles wobble in a magnetic field, physicists have pinned down a property of ...

A new estimation of the strength of the magnetic field around the muon -- a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, an electron -- closes the gap between theory and experimental measurements ...
