From Quarks to Black Holes: let’s get INSPYRED!
Stranger things – the muons – E. Diociaiuti (INFN-LNF)
“Muon, who ordered that?” That’s what Nobel laureate Isidor Isaac Rabi said…
In the 30s of the last century scientists thought they had everything figured out: matter is made of atoms, atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Suddenly they discovered the muon, a very interesting particle; we can say a heavy cousin of the electron.
Let’s discover together the many adventures of the research about the muons and why still in these days they are so special: from the volcano radiography to the g-2 anomaly
