Fermilab Experiment Hints at New Fundamental Force of Nature - ExtremeTech

Apr 09, 2021

Now, the team working on Fermilab’s Muon g−2 experiment has reported a tantalizing hint of a new type of physics, according to the BBC.

Concepts like the Higgs boson and dark energy don’t fully integrate with the Standard Model, and the Muon g−2 might eventually help us understand why.

The roots of the Muon g−2 experiment go back to work done at CERN in the late 1950s.

Whatever is causing muons to misbehave in Muon g−2 could be a fifth force, but we don’t know what it is.
