Wobbling muons again

Posted on 11/08/2023 by Jon Butterworth

Yesterday the muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab put out an updated measurement of the magnetic moment of the muon. This is in agreement with their previous measurements but substantially more precise. I’ve written about the measurement a few times before … Continue reading →

Muon g-2

Posted on 08/04/2021 by Jon Butterworth

Obviously the big thing this week is the new measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, at Fermilab. I’ve written about this experiment a few times before, see these articles. I haven’t had time to write anything about … Continue reading →

First beam for an important new physics experiment

Posted on 04/06/2017 by Jon Butterworth

An anomaly in the tiny magnetic field of a fundamental particle could be the loose thread that lets us unravel a new layer of physics. A new experiment has started to take a closer look At the Guardian.
