Decades-long experiment finds muon still behaving unexpectedly
- Scientists announced final results from a long-running muon experiment at Fermilab near Chicago on July 20, 2023.
- The experiment follows unexpected findings from tests in the late 1990s at Brookhaven National Laboratory, where muons behaved strangely.
- Scientists circulated muons through a magnetic circular path and observed their distinctive oscillations to determine whether their behavior aligns with predictions from the Standard Model.
- The experiment used over twice the data compared to 2023, and physicist Tova Holmes called it "a huge feat in precision."
- Scientists continue analyzing data and preparing future tests, aiming to answer fundamental questions about physics and possibly dark matter.
