For 30 years, the theory called the standard model has withstood all challenges to its predictions of the properties and interactions of elementary particles (SN: 7/1/95, p. 10). Despite the theory’s ...

For experimental physicists, the latest measurement of the muon is the best of times. For theorists there's still work to do.

When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered something ...

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 ...

The final result from the Muon g-2 Experiment has exceeded all expectations, achieving a precision likely to remain unmatched for generations. Yet, recent tensions in theoretical predictions have put ...
