US scientists place record limit on muon’s electric signal in search for new physics

SMRTR summary

Fermilab scientists used the Muon g-2 experiment to search for the muon's electric dipole moment, a property that could reveal physics beyond the Standard Model. Using only 25% of available data, they set the tightest direct limit ever recorded, roughly 1.5 times stronger than the previous Brookhaven record, narrowing where hidden new physics could exist.
