The FINANCIAL A much-anticipated result from an international science experiment provides strong evidence for the existence of an undiscovered subatomic particle or new force. The result was announced today, 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, UKRI notes.
Scientists from the UK, funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council, have played a vital role in the g-2 experiment.

Particle Mystery Deepens As âStrongâ New Evidence Hints at â5thâ Force in Nature

Like the four cardinal elements of yore, or the four cardinal directions, there are also four forces of natureâthe ones which cause particles to move in different ways, like gravity and electromagnetism.
Through discoveries made while working with a fundamental particle called the muon, physicists working in Chicago have recently made the case for a fifth force of nature, something that would turn physics on its head.
Called the Muon g-2 experiment, conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi Laboratory, the results could either point to an undiscovered particle, or a completely new force acting in the universeâwhich would be far more exciting.

Evidence of new physics in highly-anticipated g-2 results
