How we found hints of new particles or forces of nature – and why it could change physics
The muon experiment at Fermilab
This article by Professor Themis Bowcock , from the University of Liverpool’Fermilabs Department of Physics and Professor Mark Lancaster at the University of Manchester was first published by The Conversation.
Seven years ago, a huge magnet was transported over 3,200 miles (5,150km) across land and sea, in the hope of studying a subatomic particle called a muon.
Muons are closely related to electrons, which orbit every atom and form the building blocks of matter. The electron and muon both have properties precisely predicted by our current best scientific theory describing the subatomic, quantum world, the standard model of particle physics.

Evidence of new physics in highly-anticipated g-2 results
A much-anticipated result from an international science experiment provides strong evidence for the existence of an undiscovered subatomic particle or new force.
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. Credit: Fermilab/Reidar Hahn
The result was yesterday announced, from the Muon g-2 experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. It provides tantalising evidence that the elementary particles called muons are not behaving in the way they are supposed to according to the leading theory of physics – the Standard Model.
