Members of the muon g-2 collaboration attended a meeting at Fermilab in March . Photo : Reidar Hahn A new experiment planned at Fermilab will allow researchers to peer into the sub-atomic world of virtual particles and resolve a decade old mystery . The Fermilab muon g-2 experiment will use an intense beam of muons , short-lived particles that are similar to electrons but 200 times . heavier One of the most important things about this experiment is that it will help guide what's found in the LHC and

, Particle decay From Wikipedia , the free encyclopedia Jump to : navigation search Particle decay is the spontaneous process of one elementary particle transforming into other elementary particles . During this process , an elementary particle becomes a different particle with less mass and an intermediate particle such as W boson in muon decay The intermediate particle then transforms into other particles . If the particles created are not stable , the decay process can . continue Particle decay is also used to refer to the decay of hadrons However , the term is not typically used to describe radioactive decay in which an unstable atomic nucleus is transformed into a lighter nucleus accompanied by the emission of particles or radiation , although the two are conceptually . similar Note
