Current muon beams have a phase-space volume that is too large for applications in muon colliders. Now, the reduction in the beam’s transverse emittance when passed through different absorbers in ionization cooling experiments is quantified.

- Cool as muonsNature Physics, Published online: 16 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02571-4 The volume of muon beams in position–momentum space is too large to be used in a collider. A clear reduction in this volume has now been demonstrated, which brings particle physics closer to a practical muon collider for exploring the energy frontier.

- Anyons go universalNature Physics, Published online: 15 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02578-x Topological quantum computers are predicted to perform calculations by manipulating quasiparticles known as non-Abelian anyons. A type of non-Abelian anyon that supports universal quantum gates has now been simulated using superconducting qubits.
