The Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, colloquially known as the “Oscar of Science”, goes to “Muon g-2”, a conglomerate of three international research collaborations that performed their ...

The Breakthrough Prize Foundation citation recognizes the awardees’ “multi-decade, groundbreaking contributions to the measurement of the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment, pushing the boundaries of ...

For years, one tiny mismatch in particle physics carried outsized hopes. The muon, a heavier and short-lived cousin of the electron, seemed to wobble in a magnetic field just a little differently than ...

In a moment of pride for Assam, an assistant professor has gained global recognition for his contribution to scientific research, bringing attention to the growing role of Indian scientists on the ...

Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical predictions for the magnetic properties of the muon, the electron’s heavier ...

In June last year, an updated theory prediction and a new measurement of the magnetic moment of the muon may have resolved a longstanding tension. Is this the end of the road for muon g–2? Another way ...

Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle proposed for decades to explain puzzling neutrino behavior. Their high-precision ...

The gyromagnetic ratio is the ratio of a particle’s magnetic moment and its angular momentum. This value determines how a particle responds to a magnetic field. According to classical physics, muons ...
