Muons, heavy relatives of electrons, offer a powerful route to non-destructive elemental analysis by harnessing their unique interaction with matter. When a negative muon is implanted into a sample, ...

The NA64 experiment started operations at CERN's SPS North Area in 2016. Its aim is to search for unknown particles from a hypothetical "dark sector." For these searches, NA64 directs an electron beam ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you want to probe the frontiers of fundamental physics, you have to ...

New calculations seem to have put a 25-year-old particle physics puzzle to rest. But they’ve also created a clash with other ...

"First measurement of electron- and muon-neutrino interaction rates at the highest energy ever detected from an artificial source." ScienceDaily. www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 08 / ...

(1) A beam of negatively charged muons is produced and injected into a mixed fuel of deuterium and tritium, (2) resulting in the creation of many muonic tritium atoms (tµ). As muons are 207 times ...

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. Particle accelerators are best known for colliding ...

The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider. In the spring of 2022, Karri DiPetrillo was gearing up for the final step of the Snowmass particle physics community planning process. It ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. As the global energy need is rising, both public institutions and private companies have increased their efforts toward nuclear ...

And, indeed, a theoretical calculation of the muon-electron mass ratio (the mass of a muon divided by the mass of an electron, or m μ /m e) seems to provide conclusive evidence that the new theory is ...

Scientists recently reexamined data from the MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab taken between 2009 and 2011, and they found the first direct evidence of mono-energetic neutrinos, or neutrinos with ...
