The Muon g-2 ring sits in its detector hall amidst electronics racks, the muon beam-line, and other equipment. This impressive experiment operates at negative 450 degrees Fahrenheit and studies the precession (or wobble) of muons as they travel through the magnetic field. For the first time, scientists have precisely measured the interactions between neutrinos hitting the atomic nuclei in the heart of the Department of Energy's Fermilab particle detector. The findings, detailed in the journal Physical Review Letters, remove much of the uncertainty undermining theoretical models of neutrino osc
