The news that muons have a little extra wiggle in their step sent word buzzing around the world this spring. Everyone's excited, but few more so than the scientists whose job it is to spitball ...

The Muon g-2 ring sits in its detector hall amidst electronics racks, the muon beamline, and other equipment. This impressive experiment operates at negative 450 degrees Fahrenheit and studies the ...

Predicting the numerical value of the magnetic moment of the muon is one of the most challenging calculations in high-energy physics. Some physicists spend the bulk of their careers improving the ...

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 ...

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 arrival of the enormous electromagnet at Fermilab for the Muon g-2 experiment. The magnet was constructed and used at Brookhaven in the 1990s and early 2000s, but was shipped across the country ...

The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider. In the spring of 2022, Karri DiPetrillo was gearing up for the final step of the Snowmass particle physics community planning process. It ...

Researchers have mapped a hidden corridor inside Khufu’s Pyramid, the largest of the Giza complex, using nothing more than naturally occurring subatomic particles called muons. The structure, named ...

The news that muons have a little extra wiggle in their step sent word buzzing around the world this spring. The Muon g-2 experiment hosted at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced April 7 ...
