PHOTO (COLOR): As muons race around a ring at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, their spin axes twirl, reflecting the influence of unseen particles. As early as March, the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) will report a new measurement of the magnetism of the muon, a heavier, short-lived cousin of the electron. So as the muons go around and around, the flux of high-energy positrons oscillates at a frequency that reveals how much extra magnetism the virtual particles create. [Extracted from the article]
