Theorists publish highest-precision prediction of muon magnetic anomaly
The latest calculation based on how subatomic muons interact with all known particles comes out just in time for precision measurements at new Muon g-2 experiment.
Beams off, hardhats on
Technicians take on maintenance and upgrades during Fermilab’s annual accelerator shutdown.
Why particle physicists are excited about this mysterious inconsistency
From Gizmodo, July 3, 2018: The Muon g-2 experiment is slated to release new data about the muon magnetic moment as early as next year, which will inform physicists as to whether there are strange, undiscovered particles out there — or not.
Mark Lancaster elected as new Muon g-2 co-spokesperson
The UK physicist will co-lead the experiment for the next two years.
Muons spin tales of undiscovered particles
From Argonne National Laboratory, April 19, 2018: Scientists from Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, along with collaborators from over 25 other institutions, are recreating a previous experiment with much higher precision.
Scientific breakthrough could be as simple as measuring the wobble of a muon
From CNN, Feb. 13, 2018: Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln talks about the Muon g-2 experiment and what it could tell us about the universe.
Why measuring a tiny, spinning particle is such a big deal
From Live Science, Feb. 8, 2018: Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln writes an article for Live Science on the Muon g-2 experiment and how the results could potentially punch a hole in the reigning Standard Model of particle physics.
Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment officially starts up
The experiment aims for unprecedented precision in measuring an important property of the muon, one that could open a window into new physics.
Renewed measurements of muon’s magnetism could open door to new physics
From Science, Jan. 25, 2018: Muon g-2 hopes to firm up tantalizing hints from an earlier incarnation of the experiment, which suggested that the particle is ever so slightly more magnetic than predicted by the prevailing standard Model of particle physics.
