The 2026 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics recognized three generations of the Muon g-2 experiment, which provided the world’s most precise measurement to date of the muon. The experiment began at CERN in the 1970s, and shifted to Brookhaven National Laboratory in the 1990s. In 2025, the Muon g-2 collaboration at Fermilab announced the most precise measurement of the muon’s magnetic moment. These Muon g‑2 experiments pushed the limits of precision to measure the muon’s magnetic moment with ever-increasing precision. Even the smallest discrepancy from expectations could reveal brand‑new physics beyond the Standard Model.
