Specifically, the Muon g-2 experiment at FermiLab has provided a value of the magnetic anomaly with a precision of 127 parts per billion. The Italian team, which includes three researchers from CNR-INO in Pisa (<strong>Carlo Ferrari, Andrea Fioretti, <\/strong>and<strong> Carlo Gabbanini<\/strong>), has made an important contribution to the experimental setup by developing a cutting-edge laser calibration system for the sensors.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><strong><span dir=\"ltr\"><a title=\"https:\/\/breakthroughprize.org\/News\/98\" href=\"https:\/\/breakthroughprize.org\/News\/98\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\">https:\/\/breakthroughprize.org\/News\/98<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2026 Breakthrough Prize for Fundamental Physics, also known as the &#8220;Oscar of Science,&#8221; has been awarded to three experiments that have measured the muon magnetic<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4417,"featured_media":26935,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[131,186,33],"tags":[1452,1458,1448,1456,1460,1454,1465],"class_list":["post-26927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-banner","category-homepage","category-researchfocus","tag-1452","tag-andrea-fioretti","tag-breakthrough-prize","tag-carlo-ferrari","tag-carlo-gabbanini","tag-muon-g-2","tag-oscar-of-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ino.cnr.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ino.cnr.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ino.cnr.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ino.cnr.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4417"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ino.cnr.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26927"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ino.cnr.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26947,"href":"https:\/\/www.ino.cnr.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26927\/revisions\/26947"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ino.cnr.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/26935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ino.cnr.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ino.cnr.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ino.cnr.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
