Muon g-2 announces most precise measurement of the magnetic anomaly of the muon
The third and final result, based on the last three years of data, is in perfect agreement with the experiment’s previous results, further solidifying the experimental world average. This long-awaited...

Wow, lots of new followers over the last weekend, hello! I'll have to try and post more on here than I did on the bird site. For now, here is Pascal the dragon with one of the particle detectors I work with (the data of, now, mainly, as we're not a running experiment any more!) on a daily basis.

If you've randomly stumbled across me... hi! I'm a postdoc working on the muon g-2 experiment, hunting for a potential muon electric dipole moment, mainly, among other things...

Testing, testing... is this thing on? I'm still over on the (ex) bird site mainly but this is my backup.
