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 ...

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.

They're known as ghost particles because their mind-bogglingly small mass makes them difficult to spot ... Two years ago, a neutrino collided with matter and produced a tiny particle called a muon ...

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 ...

Muons are sub-atomic particles similar to electrons. The main difference is their mass; a muon is 200 times heavier than an ...

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.
