Tantalizing results of 2 experiments defy physics rulebook
Results from several years of high energy particle crashes in Geneva and a particle loop outside of Chicago aren t following what the Standard Model predicts. Author: SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer Published: 10:36 AM CDT April 7, 2021 Updated: 10:36 AM CDT April 7, 2021
WASHINGTON Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and thrilled.
The tiniest particles aren’t quite doing what is expected of them when spun around two different long-running experiments in the United States and Europe. The confounding results if proven right reveal major problems with the rulebook physicists use to describe and understand how the universe works at the subatomic level.
2 findings could be evidence of new physics

This photo shows the Muon g-2 ring at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory outside of Chicago. It operates at -450 F (-267 C) to detect the wobble of muons as they travel through a magnetic field. New findings from Fermilab and CERN in Europe are challenging the way physicists believe the universe works. (Reidar Hahn/Fermilab via The Associated Press)
