​​​​​​​Particle's abnormal magnetism connected to a fifth force of nature

[FfFfFfFF 58,120]

A muon is a type of high-energy particle called a lepton. Unlike particles like protons which are made up of electrons and quarks, leptons are considered “fundamental particles,” meaning they’re not composed of any smaller parts.

Since their discovery in the 1930s, scientists have done a number of experiments to capture and study this elusive particle.

[...]  Just like the 1950s researchers at CERN and their Brookhaven colleagues, the initial results of the new Fermilab experiments also found a strange, unexplained excess of magnetism around their muon samples.

What excites scientists most about these findings is that it may be just the fodder they need to truly begin to break down the academic monopoly that is the Standard Model (SM) of physics.
