The new g-2 experiment at Fermilab
The new g-2 experiment at Fermilab plans to measure the gyromagnetic ratio of the muon by measureing the precession of muons in a magnetic field to an accuracy of 140 parts per billion. It is a continuation of the g-2 experiment at Brookhaven.

Experimental physicists love a mystery. When an experiment does not turn out the way theorists predict, it can mean the discovery of new physics.

The new g-2 experiment at Fermilab is curious. Anyone have any ideas for what we could do with a 3 GeV muon beam after we complete the g-2 run?

Any antimuons layin' around? mmmmmm muonium. Then again, Quantum Electrodynamics doesn't need further testing, does it? :)

no but muonium mixing is a pretty nice way to test lepton flavor violation

I just read a bit about this. There are few experiments which can do such important physics so cheaply. It'd be a shame to not do it at Fermilab as well...

Exactly. But another way to phrase that is its going to be so awesome when we figure out how we can do it at Fermilab.

The new g-2 experiment at Fermilab has received an enthusiastic report on our proposal submitted to the Fermilab Physics Advisory Committee and is now in the middle of a cost estimate review.

What is the vacuum? Most of us think of the vacuum as complete emptiness. Numerically, to most of us, the vacuum is like the number zero. In reality, the vacuum is much more like the number infinity...

So when can I get a spaceship motor that "grabs onto" and pushes against the "vacuum" of space. I need that by 2025.

so far, people have only been able to get it to pull. This is something called the Casimir effect. If you put two metal plates in a vacuum chamber the plates disrupt the available energy levels of the particles in the vacuum. The net result is an attractive force between the plates. Not sure if that can be industrialized by 2025 though.
