The muon’s magnetic moment fits just fine – EurekAlert
A new estimation of the strength of the magnetic field around the muon–a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, an electron–closes the gap between…

A new estimation of the strength of the magnetic field around the muon–a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, an electron–closes the gap between theory and experimental measurements, bringing it in line with the standard model that has guided particle…
