In experiments, subatomic particles do not always behave as the theory predicts
ATLAS collaboration
The unknown behavior of a fundamental particle called muon, which some scientists think could be a sign of new physics, could be explained by our current theories. That’s according to a new calculation that its supporters say is the most accurate ever. But not all physicists are convinced.
The muon is a small charged particle similar to the electron, but much heavier. Its electrical charge rotates and wobbles slightly when placed in a magnetic field, behavior that can be measured as…
