Searching for stealthy supersymmetry
…does not result in an obvious signature of large energy imbalance. Instead, the LPC team is looking for collisions that result in an unusually large number of particles in the…
First results from Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment strengthen evidence of new physics
…the internal magnet determines the rate that the muon precesses in an external magnetic field and is described by a number that physicists call the g-factor. This number can be…
Robert Ainsworth awarded $2.5 million to improve particle beams for high-intensity experiments
…beams that feed their experiments. Intensity refers to the number of particles that are squeezed into a beam. The more intense the beam, the more opportunities to study subatomic phenomena,…
Physicists publish worldwide consensus of muon magnetic moment calculation
…in terms of the dimensionless Landé factor, called g. While a number of international groups have worked separately on the calculation, this publication marks the first time the global theoretical…
