University of Queensland scientists have cracked a long-standing puzzle in nuclear physics, showing that nuclear polarization ...

physicists using the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab noticed a certain type of subatomic particle, called a muon, was wobbling more than expected. Scientists at Brookhaven National Lab had ...

Even though the KM3NeT detected a flash of light from an electron-like muon — not a neutrino — it was the qualities of this elementary particle that indicated it had been created when an ...

A mind-blowing cosmic Event: How Scientists detected this Ghostly particle On the shores of Sicily ... Despite being 20 per cent built, the variety recorded muon passing through detectors in ...

Naturally the moniker took root among journalists, who know a good name for a particle when they hear one (it beats the heck out of the muon or the Z-boson). The preferred name for the God ...

Two years ago, a neutrino collided with matter and produced a tiny particle called a muon that pinged through the underwater detector, producing flashes of blue light. The researchers worked ...

Muon tomography, or muography, is the practice of using muons generated by cosmic rays interacting with Earth’s atmosphere to image structures on Earth’s surface, akin to producing an X-ray.

Immense detectors surround the areas where inconceivably small particles slam into one another at super-high energies, collisions that may confirm Arkani-Hamed's predictions about undiscovered ...

Strings of photodetectors anchored to the seabed off the coast of Sicily have detected the most energetic neutrino ever ...

This 3-D image shows a cosmic-ray muon producing a large shower of energy as it passes through the NOvA far detector in Minnesota. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

Charged particles, however, are not slowed down by the refractive index, so a high-energy charged particle—say, a 500 MeV muon, which is travelling at 0.977c—will be travelling faster than light in ...
