Fermilab has announced an exciting measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon
2021.04.09 - Marek Pawłowski
The Muon g-2 experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Chicago announced the first results of measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, which support suspicions that this magnitude is not in line with the predictions of the Standard Model. NCBJ scientists comment on the result.

Gravitational signals can help measure the viscosity of dark matter in the future
2021.03.29 - Marek Pawłowski
If gravitational waves traveled through a medium filled with sticky dark matter, then the wave amplitude would be (weakly) damped. The analysis of this effect could shed new light on the nature of dark matter - argues Prof. Marek Biesiada (NCBJ) together with Chinese colleagues in a work published in the MNRAS Letters journal.

Giant hidden black hole discovered in the early universe
2021.03.29 - Marek Pawłowski
An international team of astrophysicists has discovered a giant black hole hidden among dust in a galaxy that already existed 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. This is one of the first results of a project called Herschel Extragalactic Legacy Project (HELP). The lead co-author of the work is dr hab. Katarzyna Małek from the NCBJ Astrophysics Department.

The LHCb experiment at CERN has announced intriguing new results
2021.03.23 - Marek Pawłowski
The LHCb experiment at CERN today announced new results which, if confirmed, could suggest a violation of the standard model of particle physics. The results focus on the potential violation of the universality of the so-called the flavor of the leptons. We present a CERN communiqué and a comment by prof. Wojciech Wislicki.
