After a two-decade wait that included a long struggle for funding and a move halfway across a continent, a rebooted experiment on the muon a particle similar to the electron but heavier and unstable is about to unveil its results. Physicists have high hopes that its latest measurement of the muons magnetism, scheduled to be released on 7 April, will uphold earlier findings that could lead to the discovery…
