The NA64 experiment started operations at CERN's SPS North Area in 2016. Its aim is to search for unknown particles from a hypothetical "dark sector." For these searches, NA64 directs an electron beam ...

Researchers have developed a muon-based approach to non-destructive investigations for unique asteroid samples, report scientists. Japanese researchers from Osaka University have developed a ...

A new technique has taken the first images of muon particle beams. Scientists plan to use it to assess the quality of these beams, which are being used more and more in advanced imaging applications.

The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment has achieved its goal of squeezing a beam of muons before they decay. Scientists have announced a breakthrough that could be key to the creation of a powerful ...

The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider. In the spring of 2022, Karri DiPetrillo was gearing up for the final step of the Snowmass particle physics community planning process. It ...

A new technique has taken the first images of muon particle beams. Nagoya University scientists designed the imaging technique with colleagues in Osaka University and KEK, Japan and describe it in the ...

Senior Lecturer in Particle Physics Informatics, Brunel University of London The fact that we are here at all is one of the greatest puzzles of physics. We are made from normal particles such as ...

Muon has much higher transmissivity than electrons and X-rays. This feature of muon has enabled us to see through volcanoes, pyramids, and nuclear reactors with cosmic-ray induced natural muons. The ...
