At the start of the new year, nuclear chemists Hiromitsu Haba and Kouji Morimoto slide precisely 119 Japanese yen into the collection box at their local shrine. They are seeking good fortune in their ...

Abstract: In the framework of the IMCC (International Muon Collider Collaboration), a feasibility study for a collider ring 10 km long with muons having a center of mass energy of 10 TeV is currently ...

Superfast, subatomic-sized particles called muons have been used to wirelessly navigate underground in a reportedly world first. By using muon-detecting ground stations synchronized with an ...

Abstract: Within the framework of the International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC), an innovative feasibility study on a Muon Collider accelerator complex is currently under development, granted ...

Sometimes, a major discovery is exactly what you were hoping not to find. That’s the case with a team at Penn State who seem to have recently closed the door on any new physics stemming from a ...

A new high-precision calculation of a key component underpinning the magnetic moment of the muon, a heavier cousin of the electron, brings theory and experiment into rare alignment, reinforcing the ...

Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical predictions for the magnetic properties of the muon, the electron’s heavier ...

Supercomputer simulations reveal the effect of the strong nuclear force on the muon's magnetism. Credit Image courtesy of the University of Wuppertal. Muon is the heavier cousin (around 200 times) of ...
