Due to government shutdown restrictions currently in place in the US, the researchers who headed up this study have not been able to comment on their work Laser plasma acceleration (LPA) may be used ...

From left: Jim Miller, Ron Ray, and Robert Bernstein think the Mu2e experiment may answer one of the fundamental riddles of particle physics. Amid the sprawl of mysterious equipment in a workroom at ...

Imagine waking up one morning to find that your meter stick had shrunk, overnight, by exactly four centimeters. That difference sounds small, yet it is still dramatic enough to thoroughly muck up ...

As researchers across the United States—and around the world—plan two new supersymmetry-hunting experiments to be located at Fermilab, symmetry writer Joseph Piergrossi sat down with collaborators ...

Figure 1: Calculations incorporating a complete set of Feynman diagrams give the most accurate estimates of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron and the muon to date. The most accurate theory ...

Using a beam shot through the Earth's crust, physicists have found the first direct proof of a metamorphosis between two of the three known types of neutrinos — those known as ‘muon’ and ‘tau’ ...

Editor's Note: This story was updated on Friday Sept. 11 at 2:45 p.m. E.T. Trouble is brewing in the orderly world of subatomic physics. New evidence from the world's largest atom smasher, the Large ...

According to a study published in the journal Nature, large space was discovered within the Great Pyramid in Egypt, the first major one since the 19th century. Using an imaging method called muon ...

Highly energetic: visualization of the light gathered from the 2.6 PeV event in IceCube. The image shows a portion of the vertical strings of photomultipliers that make up the detector array.
