Bowring’s work at the frontier of dark matter research earns him a 2018 Early Career Research Award.

Theoretical physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory recently published in Physical Review Letters calculations related to the way muons interact with all other known particles through three of nature’s four fundamental forces, reducing the greatest source of uncertainty in the prediction. The calculation comes out just in time for precision measurements at Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment. Photo: Reidar Hahn
