Muon g-2 experiment finds strong evidence for new physics

Ғылым және технология

The first results from the Muon g-2 experiment hosted at Fermilab show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. Announced on April 7, 2021, these results confirm and strengthen the findings of an earlier experiment of the same name performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Combined, the two results show strong evidence that our best theoretical model of the subatomic world is incomplete. One potential explanation would be the existence of undiscovered particles or forces. This video explains what a muon is, how the Muon g-2 experiment works, and the significance of this result.

    I'm a 57 year old grandad to 4 beautiful little grandkids and I hope one of them becomes a scientist. I never got educational qualifications, unfortunately life got in the way, but I love watching stuff like this. If I'm honest I struggle sometimes to keep up with the more detailed explanations on some videos so I rewind them a few times and have to think about what I'm seeing and hearing. I've read all the books written for folk like me and really enjoyed them and wish I'd taken school much more seriously, that will always be one of the regrets of my life. So congratulations to everyone involved in this fantastic experiment 👏👏👏👏 I love the excitement and passion shown by scientists, but you're not only doing this exciting work for yourselves, you're also doing it for folk like me, so thank you. I really do hope it leads to what you're looking for and I'll be watching with interest.

    You're lucky, Jim; your heart assists your mind. There are scientists who are highly educated but bored and dissatisfied, because their heart is out of tune with their mind. I am an aviation mechanic, 72 years old, and watch these lectures, sometimes, like you, without understanding what exactly is going on. But my mind has found other friends than my heart: Fermilab, the Royal Institution, and several others. They educate me without being condescending. Have no regrets, Jim. Believe me, you're luckier than you think.

With that said, it´s great that you haven´t let your regrets take you down and maintain a positive mind, that is always willing to learn new things. A mind that constantly keeps wanting to learn and challenge itself, is a beautiful mind. So, once again, Jim, keep going and be proud of yourself for the way you´ve come and the way you´re still gonna go!

    Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons.

    One advantage of using the same magnet is that the systematic error should be the same for both experiments. In other words, if both results are shifted by (say) 10 units, their relative values remain the same. Therefor we can still tell if the values are different or the same.

    Good question. The parts of the magnet that influence the quality of the magnetic field (the steel blocks,not the big coil) were taken apart for shipment and reassembled. The magnet was fine-tuned over the course of a year to get much better uniformity than when it was running at Brookhaven. The corrections in the analysis to take into account the field variations are thus much smaller. And, they take a break every few days to carefully remeasure the magnet, so they know the corrections better, too. That's one of many ways that this experiment is improving on the Brookhaven measurement.

    Interesting that this suggests that the muon does not satisfy the Standard Model, while just recently the LHCb group also published a result that the muon might not satisfy the SM. The task for theorists is now to suggest models which do not only explain the LHCb result, but also leave room for a slightly higher value of g-2. I wonder whether e.g. adding leptoquarks to the SM increases the value of g-2 ever so slightly? By the way, the theoretical paper referred to at 2:36 can be found on arXiv, code 2006.04822. AFAIK KZread does not like links in comments, but Googling "arXiv 2006.04822 pdf" should directly send you to the right paper.

    Actually, it's very unlikely this will change anything we learned in school about physics. We're talking about adding to the picture here, not changing what we already know.

    The science we mostly learn in school, has been corrected over so many years. Also, it's basic science, so there must not be any change but addition in current basics

    dude we approximate pi as 3.14 in calculations in school...and you think a change from 2.00233183620... to 2.00233184080.. will change the school physics...even accelaration due to gravity was 10m/s^2 bruh..

    but it's not 5 sigma so it's a waste of our time to report on these prematurely

    What blows my mind the most is the fact that particles just pop in and out of existence "but from where"??? and the fact that a Muon can measure they are their just by the wobble of interaction. It's like trillions of big bangs or minute bangs going off all over every square meter of space throughout our Universe. I wonder what it would sound like if you could hear it.

    The assumption is that it is particles. It is not particles, it is interference of a very different nature. Ether gravitational flux.

    @@8thsinner Using the word particles is not an assumption but an analogous description to explain what is going on. Gravity and equilibrium play the most massive parts in atomic stability and we are poking them with a stick.
