Muon g-2 | Whispers from dark matter

The Brief

  • The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab has made the most precise measurements of muon behavior in a magnetic field recorded to date.
  • That precision opens a new opportunity to search for dark matter.
  • The added precision would allow faint signals from interactions between dark matter and muons to be detected.

Why watch · It shows how a precision muon measurement could be used as a new way to probe dark matter.

Happy #DarkMatterDay! There's more to the cosmos than meets the eye. In fact, there’s a BIG part of the universe that we don’t know much about. The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab has achieved the most precise measurements of muon behavior in a magnetic field ever recorded, creating a new opportunity to search for dark matter. Such precision makes it possible to listen for extremely faint signals from interactions between dark matter and muons. #DarkMatter #gminus2 #physics #ParticlePhysics #Fermilab
