ScIDEP built 2 cm-resolution detectors. Models show a void like Khufu’s 2017 “big void” would be visible after ~10⁸ recorded muons.
The most anticipated particle physics result of recent years is here—but the real news came one week before: the “muon g–2 anomaly” might have never existed ...
Mapping out the muon rate around the globe at sea has never been achieved. Liquid scintillator can be harmful to marine life, and the high voltage and power consumption of the large devices present a ...
Comprising 160 plastic scintillator (PS) modules with optimized wavelength shifting fiber (WLS-fiber) arrangements and silicon photomultipliers, the system offers enhanced light yield and muon ...
Muon Experiment Was ‘Hugely Successful’ but Clarified Little The deviant behavior of a subatomic particle might point to undiscovered forms of matter and energy in the universe. Or it might not.
Physicists at Fermilab have made the most precise measurement ever of a long-disputed value – the magnetic 'wiggle' of an elementary particle known as a muon. In somewhat disappointing news ...
At Fermilab, US physicists are refining their measurements of this subatomic particle—which has major implications for the Standard Model.
Scientists have measured the magnetic moment of the muon to unprecedented precision, more than doubling the previous record.
Muon imaging is a non-invasive technique which uses cosmic ray particles, called muons, to see inside solid objects, detecting changes in density and composition, and therefore enabling scientists to ...
Muon Space, a Silicon Valley startup building a climate-monitoring constellation, sent its first satellite into orbit June 12 on the SpaceX Transporter-8 rideshare flight.
Space-as-a-service startup Muon Space closed a $56.7 million fundraising round to scale its satellite platform, while also announcing a new deal with defense giant Sierra Nevada Corp. California ...
A Blockbuster ‘Muon Anomaly’ May Have Just Disappeared The most anticipated particle physics result of recent years is here—but the real news came one week before: the “muon g–2 anomaly ...
