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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.
