Muon's Peculiar Wobble Hints at Physics Mystery
In a recent US laboratory experiment, the intriguing irregular movement of a subatomic particle known as a muon is prompting scientists to consider the possibility of an unknown particle or force that could challenge current understanding in physics.
- Muons are akin to electrons but significantly more massive, wobbling as they traverse magnetic fields due to their inherent tiny internal magnet.
- The experiment's focus was on studying the speed of muon wobble, technically termed "precession," when subjected to magnetic fields.
- However, the experiment's observed wobble speed substantially differed from predictions based on the Standard Model of particle physics, raising questions ....
