Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical ...

Muon is the heavier cousin (around 200 times) of the electron. It is produced when cosmic rays interact with Earth’s ...

The muon is a particle that belongs to the class of leptons, as does the electron, but has a much larger mass. For this reason, it is unstable and survives only for a very short time in a high-energy ...

An international team has produced the most precise calculation yet of the muon's magnetic moment, resolving a decades-long discrepancy with experimental results. The new hybrid method, combining ...

Muon-catalyzed fusion is one of those strange concepts that’s been promising enough to keep ...

Recognition honors experiments and scientific collaborations at three institutions that explored the subtle wobble of a ...
