How a crucial location in a coordinate space could redefine the meaning of physics, as described in The Muon Mystery (16 notícias)

Publicado em

Despite being an unexpected phenomenon, the magnetic moment of the muon has been the subject of scientific research.

The magnetic moment's values suggest interactions with unknowable particlesManifesting in the Vacuumumum or muonium, and have been used as a key mechanism for exploring these interactions through advanced simulations of quantum mechanics.

The researchers found a way to explain the changes in the interpretation of the muon's magnetic moment, which are new insights into the study of dark matter and other fields in modern physics.

Magnetic moment is an inherently inherent characteristic of a spinnable particle, which results from contact with a magnetic field and is an important property of physics, much like mass and electric charge. The magnetic moment of a particle, such as a muon, is theoretically different from the values obtained in high-energy experiments with particle accelerators.

The eighth decimal point is the only decimal point that the difference between the muon and dark matter particles and other Higgs bosons is not known, and it is of little importance to determining the presence of unknown forces.

According to Paulo Dirac, an English physicist and Nobel laureate who formulated the Dirac equation, the magnetic moment of a muon is a mathematical expression that has been proposed to be represented by the letter g, but it has been shown that this is not the case, and there is a growing interest in understanding the difference between the experimental value and the predicted value.

Diogo Boito, a physicist and a professor at the So Carlos Institute of Physics (IFSC-USP), stated that the need to accurately calculate the muon's magnetic moment in particle physics has become a crucial concern due to the potential for spectacular new effects.

The journal Physical Review Letters features an article by Boito and his co-authors.

According to Boito, his results were first presented to him at a workshop in Madrid, Spain, and then to him at a meeting in Bern, Switzerland, which was later attended by his colleague Maarten Golterman.

These conclusions indicate the source of a discrepancy between the two methods used to make current predictions about muon g-2, which generate different results.

Despite the study's success in explaining the discrepancy, understanding it requires a quick reset and a more comprehensive explanation of the muon.

The leptonic particle muon is much heavier than the electron, so its instability causes it to last for only a brief time in a high-energy environment. When muons encounter a magnetic field, they decay and eventually form a cloud of other particles, including W and Z bosons, Higgs bosons, and photons. Their contributions to experiments enable the measured magnetic moment to exceed the theoretical magnetic moment calculated by the Dirac equation, which is equal to 2.

Boito emphasized that the difference [g-2] is dependent on a variety of contributions, including those predicted by QCD and smaller ones that are only found in high-precision experimental measurements.

As the effects of QCD strong interaction cannot be determined theoretically (or, alternatively, mathematically, at least) in some energy regimes, there are two possible scenarios: one involves using experimental data obtained from electron–positron collisions, which results in other (often temporally) particles made of quarks; another involves the simulating how theoretically this process worked in a supercomputer, which is now known as lattice QCD, and it is only now in the decade that it becomes competitive.

The accuracy of the prediction for muon g-2 is dependent on the data obtained from electron-positron collisions, as opposed to the lattice-qd-based results.

The goal of his and his team's research was to find a solution to this issue. They presented several studies that have uncovered a novel approach for comparing lattice QCD simulation results with experimental data. The article shows that it is possible to extract connected Feynman diagrams from data with high degree precision.

Richard Feynman, an American theoretical physicist from the United States, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 alongside Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichiro Tomonaga for his pioneering work in quantum electrodynamics and the study of elementary particles. The drawings, known as Feynman diagrams, were first created in 1948 and are used to simplify calculations.

According to Boito, the study provides its first exact determination of contributions of connected Feynman diagrams in the ‘intermediate energy window'. They now have eight results for these contributions, all of which are based on lattice QCD simulations, and all of them are in agreement. Furthermore, the results based on electron-positron interaction data do not align with these eight simulation results.

The researchers were able to pinpoint the cause of the problem and explore potential resolutions. The result revealed that the issue could be caused by an underestimation of experimental data in the two-pion channel.

The new findings of the CMD-3 Experiment at Novosibirsk State University in Russia indicate that some factors may have caused the underestimate of the oldest two-pion channel data, according to peer-reviewed evidence.

Physical Review Letters published a study on December 21, 2023, that focuses on a Data-Driven Determination process that identifies the Light-Quark Connected Component of the Intermediate-Window Contribution to the Muon g2 between Diogo Boito, Maarten Golterman, Alexander Keshavarzi, Kim Maltman and Santiago Peris. The journal is available at DOI:10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.251803 for the investigation.

FAPESP awarded Boito a Phase 2 Young Investigator Grant for his research on "Testing the Standard Model: precision QCD and muon g-2."
