Neutrinos are very mysterious particles,” says Damien Dornic, one of the co-authors of a new paper published February 12 in Nature that describes the detection of the decay products of an extremely ...

Over the past 25 years researchers have seen a persistent and growing discrepancy between the theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of an inherent property of the muon – its anomalous ...

Like mass and electric charge, magnetic moment is one of the fundamental magnitudes of physics. There is a difference between the theoretical value of the magnetic moment of a muon, a particle ...

These muons are similar to electrons, having a +1 or -1 charge, but with 200 times the mass. This pion-to-muon decay happens higher than 10 km above the Earth’s surface. But the muons have a ...

The magnificent muon and its unusual wobble In 2021, physicists using the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab noticed a certain type of subatomic particle, called a muon, was wobbling more than expected.

Muon Space, an end-to-end space systems provider, has successfully launched the FireSat Protoflight satellite, marking a ...

Muon tomography, or muography, is the practice of using muons generated by cosmic rays interacting with Earth’s atmosphere to image structures on Earth’s surface, akin to producing an X-ray.

Interestingly, physicists have known for some time that using muons (elementary particles similar to the electron but with a much greater mass ... Notably, the MICE (Muon Ionization Cooling ...
