Measurement Of Electron’s Magnetic Moment Could Be Strictest Test Yet For The Standard Model If we can get another number right, we might get enough precision for possible new physics. Dr ...

Compared to the muon, the electron’s lighter mass makes it 40,000 times harder to search for new particles with its magnetic moment. But Fan thinks an upgraded electron-trapping instrument will ...

The team determined the electron magnetic moment to 0.13 parts per trillion, or 0.000000000013 percent. ... disagree on the value of a number called the fine-structure constant, ...

A newly measured value of an electron’s magnetic moment 1 — a property of its spin and charge — is twice as precise as the one physicists have used for the past 14 years.. The electron ...

The experiment measures the mass of an electron by analyzing the relationship between the magnetic field, the electric potential, and the radius of the electron's circular path.

Physically, the magnetic moment describes how willing an electron is to align itself in the direction of a magnetic field. Mathematically, it’s equal to – µ / µ B .
