Episode 6: A Final Moment for the Muon

From CERN

How to make a measurement more precise the the the theory. Fermilab’s Muon g-2 collaboration has given its final word on the magnetic moment of the muon. The new measurement agrees closely with a significantly revised Standard Model (SM) prediction. Though the experimental measurement will likely now remain stable for several years, theorists expect to make rapid progress to reduce uncertainties and resolve tensions underlying the SM value. One of the most intriguing anomalies in particle phy...
