We’re thrilled to announce that the first results from Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment strengthen evidence of new physics! #gminus2

The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab sees fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. These results confirm an earlier experiment performed at @BrookhavenLab. #gminus2

The combined results from Fermilab and Brookhaven show a difference with theory at a significance of 4.2 sigma. The chance that the results are a statistical fluctuation is about 1 in 40,000. #gminus2 https://news.fnal.gov/2021/04/first-results-from-fermilabs-muon-g-2-experiment-strengthen-evidence-of-new-physics/
The strong evidence that muons deviate from the Standard Model calculation might hint at exciting new physics. Muons act as a window into the subatomic world and could be interacting with yet undiscovered particles or forces. #gminus2

Physics fans, we are overwhelmed by your excitement. You're breaking all of our pages and streams like they're the Standard Model! We're working on it - thanks for your patience. The talk is also being recorded and will be available if you can't get to it right now. #gminus2
In its first year of operation, in 2018, the Fermilab #gminus2 experiment collected more data than all prior muon g-factor experiments combined. The first experimental run collected and analyzed more than 8 billion muons.
And there’s more data to come! Data analysis on the second and third runs of the experiment is under way, the fourth run is ongoing, and a fifth run is planned. #gminus2
Today’s result is an amazing achievement. Both the theoretical and experimental efforts required tremendous collaboration, brain power, and years of hard work. #gminus2
