Muon g-2 experiment results: physicists may have discovered a new force of nature
From Inverse, Sept. 28, 2021: Suspect number one at the center of the particle-filled mystery? The humble muon.
Scientists at CERN began studying the magnetism of muons in the 1950s, but in the 1990s this research moved stateside, first to Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island until 2001 and now to Fermilab.
An inside look at Fermilab
From WORT 89.9 FM-Madison WI, Aug. 26, 2021: General Counsel for Fermilab, John Myer, talks with 89.9 FM hosts, Ankur Malhotra and Austin Exum, about the major projects and practical applications of the research performed at Fermilab.
Scientist creates a revolutionary map of all forces in the universe
From Interesting Engineering, July 14, 2021: Particle physicist Chris Quigg from Fermilab, came up with the “double simplex” representation in 2005 to help familiarize people with the known particles of nature.
Felicia the diaper-wearing ferret was sent into a particle accelerator for science
From IFL Science (United Kingdom), July 5, 2021: In the late 1960’s, Fermilab’s Felicia the ferret helped trouble shoot why the newly completed particle accelerator would not start. Thanks to the innovative thinking of a laboratory worker from Oxford, UK, he sourced Felicia to help identify the accelerator’s stall.
Basic to breakthrough: how exploring the building blocks of the universe sets the foundation for innovation
From the DOE Office of Science, June 28, 2021: Particle physics research scientists supported by the U.S. Department of Energy tackle the fundamental mysteries at universities and national labs across the country. They build state-of-the-art experiments that yield incredible discoveries and achievements including Fermilab’s Muon g-2 result, the Higgs Boson discovery, the ProtoDune demonstration and the launch of the National Quantum Initiative.
Could misbehaving muons upend the known laws of physics?
From Discover, June 23, 2021: Muons drew the attention of physicists around the world after an experiment at Fermilab demonstrated that they’re far more magnetic than expected.
Latin American will participate in studies with muons, the fundamental particles
From Tec Review, April 28: Tec Review interviews Fermilab’s David Tarazona about his role and experience with the Muon g-2 experiment.
Bison- messenger of nature in Fermilab
From Tia Sang (Vietnam), April 27, 2021: Fermilab keeps a strong connection with nature and history where he places modern accelerators, through her messenger of nature – the American bison.
“A possible complete revolution”: will the muon lead to a new particle physics?
From Marianne TV (France), April 21, 2021: An interview on the Muon g-2 experiment result with Laurent Lellouch, CNRS research director at the Theoretical Physics Center and the Universe Physics Institute.
