This landmark result, made with unprecedented precision, confirms a discrepancy that has been gnawing at researchers for decades. Muon g-2 experiment finds strong evidence for new physics The Muon g-2 ring sits in its detector hall amidst electronics racks, the muon beamline, and other equipment. This impressive experiment operates at negative 450 degrees Fahrenheit and studies the precession (or wobble) of muons as they travel through the magnetic field.
