The international particle physics experiment Muon g-2, involving also researchers from the University and INFN Trieste, will shortly release the long-
awaited results of its first data taking campaign at Fermilab, in Chicago (USA). Muon g-2 measures with unprecedented precision the magnetic properties of muons, the heavy "brothers" of electrons, which are influenced by interactions with all particles and forces currently known and included in the "Standard Model" of elementary particles. A possible deviation between the Standard Model predictions and the ultra-precise measurement by “Muon g-2” would indicate that our current knowledge of the subatomic world is incomplete, and would pave the way for a new scientific revolution.
