For The Brainiacs: The Muon
-
From Scientific American:
"A result that has been 20 years in the making could reveal the existence of new particles, and upend fundamental physics.
"After a two-decade wait that included a long struggle for funding and a move halfway across a continent, a rebooted experiment on the muon—a particle similar to the electron but heavier and unstable—is about to unveil its results. Physicists have high hopes that its latest measurement of the muon’s magnetism, scheduled to be released on 7 April, will uphold earlier findings that could lead to the discovery of new particles."
