ScIDEP built 2 cm-resolution detectors. Models show a void like Khufu’s 2017 “big void” would be visible after ~10⁸ recorded muons.

Fermilab physicist Herman White suggested taking one of the the tiny detectors on a ship to study muon counts at sea. Mapping out the muon rate around the globe at sea has never been achieved. Liquid ...

A new technique has taken the first images of muon particle beams. Nagoya University scientists designed the imaging technique with colleagues in Osaka University and KEK, Japan. They plan to use ...

Quality of muon beams Date: February 3, 2021 Source: Nagoya University Summary: A new technique has taken the first images of muon particle beams. Scientists plan to use it to assess the quality ...

Today, this muon g-2 result is a testament of the incredible engineering and multidisciplinary scientific effort required to uncover just a little bit more about our ever-mysterious universe.

The Standard Model of particle physics—the best, most thoroughly vetted description of reality scientists have ever devised—appears to have fended off yet another threat to its reign. The muon ...

Nine metres long and two metres wide, the mysterious corridor was first detected in 2016 thanks to muon imaging. Muon imaging is a non-invasive technique which uses cosmic ray particles, called muons, ...

After five years of major upgrades to the ring and its facilities, Fermilab started collecting its first run of muon data in 2018. Three years later, Fermilab announced its first results from the ...

But if the muon doesn’t always look like physicists expect it to look, that is a sign that the Standard Model is incomplete, and some hitherto unknown physics is at play.

“The Fermilab experiment is hugely successful, they did their job,” said Aida El-Khadra, a physicist at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign who leads the Muon g-2 Theory Initiative ...
