From muh search for Gee 2…
Fermilab (located in IL) is America’s particle physics and accelerator laboratory. Our vision is to solve the mysteries of matter, energy, space and time for the benefit of all.

July 26, 2013: Muon g-2 ring arrives
Fermilab and Brookhaven National Laboratory transported a 50-foot-wide particle storage ring from Brookhaven in Long Island, New York, to Fermilab so it could be reused in Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment. The move began on June 22, and the ring traversed over 3,200 miles of land and water on its 35-day journey. About 3,000 people came to Fermilab on July 26, 2013, to watch it arrive.
This month in Fermilab history: July
July 3, 2017
July brought Fermilab three new directors, two discovery announcements and one big, red ring. Read on for more July historical milestones.

Graziano Venanzoni elected new co-spokesperson of Muon g-2 collaboration
The Muon g-2 collaboration consists of more than 150 scientists drawn from the accelerator, nuclear and particle physics communities.
The collaboration uses an intense beam of muons traveling at nearly the speed of light to precisely determine the particle’s magnetic moment, which is characterized by its g value. The muon acts like a spinning magnet. Its g value, which is slightly greater than 2, indicates the presence of the well-known quantum foam that surrounds all matter. By measuring the magnetic moment precisely, scientists can search for new particles that might be emerging from the foam.
Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory concluded an experiment nearly 20 years ago that found a small difference between the theoretical prediction and their measurement of the muon’s magnetic moment. If such a difference truly exists, physicists would know that new, unobserved particles or forces exist in the universe. The discovery remains unverified, however, pending the more precise measurements of the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment.
“Who does not remember the announcement of the discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN auditorium?”
Venanzoni asked. “Something similar could happen to us, too! We have to do all that is possible to establish rigor in our results.”
