Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

The muon storage ring at Fermilab. Credit: Reidar Hahn/Wikimedia Commons Magnetic moment is an intrinsic property of a particle with spin, arising from interaction between the particle and a magnet or ...

The puzzling behaviour of a fundamental particle called a muon, which some scientists think could be a sign of new physics, might actually be explained by our current theories. That’s according to a ...

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

The CMS collaboration has recently presented new results in searches for long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs). Also known as "sterile neutrinos", HNLs are interesting hypothetical particles that ...

The unusually large Muon has threatened the Standard Model for decades, but new data parks the particle inside the cozy confines of established physics. Reading time 3 minutes Another nail may seal ...
