The Higgs boson’s decay into muons happens in only about one in every 5000 Higgs decays. So, the team had to search for a ...

Adding to the confusion is that a different particle experiment located in Siberia—known as CMD-3—produced a result that also makes the Muon g–2 discrepancy disappear. “That one is a real ...

The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z ...

“The anomalous magnetic moment, or g–2, of the muon is important because it provides a sensitive test of the Standard Model of particle physics,” Regina Rameika, the U.S. Department of ...

Scientists have never directly detected dark matter, but some wonder if one high-energy detection in 2023 could be a rare ...

We may already have had our first-ever encounter with dark matter, according to researchers who say a mysteriously high-energy particle detected in 2023 is not a neutrino after all, but something far ...

The muon is an elementary particle about 207 times as massive as the electron. For about 20 years, scientists have considered the muon a potential venue for the discovery of new physics.

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 ...

(Courtesy: iStock/vi73777; iStock/traffic_analyzer; IOP Publishing) A tense particle-physics showdown will reach new heights in 2025. Over the past 25 years researchers have seen a persistent and ...

After six years of collecting data, the muon g-2 experiment released its results and could chart a new path for particle physics. advertisement Maybe the Rules Are Wrong.
