Looking deeper into the muons with MUonE
Looking deeper into the muons with MUonE 21 DECEMBER, 2023 | By Dipanwita Banerjee and Sylvain Girod Elementary particles are characterized by a set of fundamental properties like mass, electrical charge, spin etc., There is another property that helps learn about these elementary particles deeply and that is called the magnetic moment. At the most

The NA62 Experiment
The NA62 Experiment 22 DECEMBER, 2023 | By Lau Gatignon The NA62 experiment was proposed in 2005 and approved in December 2008 to search for the ultrarare kaon decay K+ → π+νν with a very tiny Standard Model branching fraction of 8×10-11, which means the decay happens only about once in 10 billion kaon decays.

The Water Cherenkov Test Experiment
The Water Cherenkov Test Experiment 8 DECEMBER, 2023 | By Dipanwita Banerjee, Philippe Boisseaux-Burgeois, Aboubakr Ebn Rahmoun ad Roman Folch Neutrinos are the most abundant, tiny, neutral, and elementary particles in the universe with mass so small that no one has been able to measure it yet. Theorists first predicted the neutrino’s existence in 1930
