The 25-Year Physics Mystery That Almost Broke the Standard Model

Описание: For 25 years, a tiny 72-part-per-billion wobble in a subatomic particle called the muon threatened to break the Standard Model of particle physics. First detected at Brookhaven National Laboratory and later confirmed by Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment, the magnetic anomaly reached a tantalizing 4.2-sigma discrepancy.

Was it evidence for supersymmetry, dark photons, or leptoquarks? Or was it an extraordinarily difficult theoretical calculation problem? In this video, we trace the full story of the Muon g-2 experiment—from moving a 50-foot magnetic ring 1,000 miles across the US to the latest lattice QCD supercomputer calculations that shifted the entire debate.
