CHICAGO, April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is not predicted by scientists best theory, the Standard Model of particle physics. 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.

The Department of Energy has recognized Fermilab Deputy Director of Research Joe Lykken and Fermilab Neutrino Division Head Steve Brice each with a 2021 Secretary’s Honor Award. The awards recognize DOE employees and contractors for their service and contributions to DOE’s mission and for the benefit of the nation. They are among the highest honors an employee or contractor can receive.
“I want to thank all the recipients for their vital contributions to the department and our country,” said former Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette. “I am truly honored to work alongside such brilliant, talented individuals who show unwavering commitment to public service. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.”

Fermilab and partners achieve sustained, high-fidelity quantum teleportation
Dec 28, 2020 Quantum information ‘teleported’ at Fermilab, Caltech represents step toward quantum internet
A viable quantum internet a network in which information stored in qubits is shared over long distances through entanglement would transform the fields of data storage, precision sensing and computing, ushering in a new era of communication.
This month, scientists at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory affiliated with the University of Chicago along with partners at five institutions took a significant step in the direction of realizing a quantum internet.
