An international collaboration of scientists, including researchers from UK, is working on Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment. Today, Fermilab released the world’s most precise measurement yet of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon particle, bringing physics closer to the ultimate showdown between theory and experiment, that may uncover new particles or forces.
Fatemi is being honored for “contributions to the understanding of the spin and momentum structure of quarks and gluons in the proton through the novel development and application of jet reconstruction tools in polarized proton collisions.”
An international team of researchers found strong evidence suggesting that a subatomic particle called a muon might be breaking the accepted laws of physics. During an experiment at the Fermi [.]

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) On a February Zoom call, a team of University of Kentucky professors held their breath alongside hundreds of their colleagues across the country, waiting to find out the results of three years of work.
When the moment of truth came there was first silence “then it just erupted,” said Renee Fatemi, a UK professor of physics. It was of course only as loud as you can get on Zoom, but it did little to dampen the significance.
“Everybody’s on mute, of course, on Zoom, but I think everybody in their own homes was shouting, and it was just amazing,” said Tim Gorringe, also a UK physics professor.
