The advance hints at the possibility of portable muon-making devices that could help peer through solid materials for hidden contraband.

Scientists may have observed the Higgs boson doing a new trick: creating pairs of muons. When the Higgs boson was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, it was the final piece of ...

A recent study offers proof of feasibility for using cosmic radiation detectors to discover underground spaces. The detectors ...

A neutrino sensor array, ARCA, lines the Mediterranean seafloor near Sicily. A physicist took ARCA’s first huge win to a warm ...

The Muon g-2 Collaboration has doubled the precision of their 2021 measurement of the muon’s magnetic moment and it disagrees with the predictions based on the standard model of physics. Muons are ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sparked worldwide excitement in March as particle physicists reported tantalizing evidence for new physics – potentially a new force of nature. Now, our new result, yet ...

The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider. In the spring of 2022, Karri DiPetrillo was gearing up for the final step of the Snowmass particle physics community planning process. It ...
