UM-led international team hopes new tech will expand the frontiers of research
March 3, 2021
A newly-funded particle physics experiment may be able to look into the structure of individual electrons particles that have so far been indivisible.
A bold project to peer inside fundamental particles, called
Measurement Of a Lepton Lepton Electroweak Reaction (MOLLER), is a Canada-led international effort involving collaborators from UW and Memorial University in Canada, but also from the USA, Germany, Italy, France and Mexico.

UM physicists Michael Gericke and Juliette Mammei, with co-investigator Wouter Deconinck, have received $2.3M for MOLLER from the Canada Foundations for Innovation (CFI). Their goal is measure the interaction properties between pairs of leptons (specifically electrons) down to separation distances of a
