Muon g-2 is a blinded experiment. That means it used a secret code to obscure the result from the collaborators until the moment of unblinding. Here's how it works:
Muon g-2 will compare an experimental result to a theoretical calculation. Both are incredibly precise. Here's how theorists calculate g-2: symmetrymagazine.org/article/the-ma… #gminus2
One crucial component for the Muon g-2 collaboration was creating a uniform magnetic field in their 50-foot-wide superconducting magnetic storage ring. Here's how they did it: symmetrymagazine.org/article/prepar… #gminus2
Make your official predictions! What do you think the first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab will show? #gminus2 theory.fnal.gov/events/event/f…
We’re thrilled to announce that the first results from Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment strengthen evidence of new physics! #gminus2 news.fnal.gov/2021/04/first-…
The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab sees fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. These results confirm an earlier experiment performed at @BrookhavenLab. #gminus2 theory.fnal.gov/events/event/f…
The combined results from Fermilab and Brookhaven show a difference with theory at a significance of 4.2 sigma. The chance that the results are a statistical fluctuation is about 1 in 40,000. #gminus2 news.fnal.gov/2021/04/first-…
