- Muon - Wikipedia
It is classified as a lepton As with other leptons, the muon is not thought to be composed of any simpler particles The muon is an unstable subatomic particle with a mean lifetime of 2 2 μs, much longer than many other subatomic particles
- What are muons and where do they come from?
A muon is an elementary particle that is very similar to an electron, but much more massive than it It was discovered in the first half of the twentieth century and was initially suspected to be something else entirely
- Muon | Elementary particle, Lepton, Weak interaction | Britannica
Muon, elementary subatomic particle similar to the electron but 207 times heavier It has two forms, the negatively charged muon and its positively charged antiparticle
- DOE Explains. . . Muons | Department of Energy
The muon is one of the fundamental subatomic particles, the most basic building blocks of the universe as described in the Standard Model of particle physics Muons are similar to electrons but weigh more than 207 times as much

- Muons: The Subatomic Particles Shaking Up the World of Physics
That would be the muon, a particle first discovered in the late 1930s, which is formed in nature when cosmic rays strike particles in our planet's atmosphere Muons are passing through you and everything around you at a speed close to that of light
- What are muons? What is muon science? - Cambridge University Press . . .
The muon has the second longest lifetime among all the fundamental unstable particles (that is, omitting particles believed to be stable, such as the proton, electron, and neutrino) after the neutron, and has the second smallest mass among all the fundamental particles after the electron
- Muons - Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
A muon interacts very little with matter except by ionization Because of this, muons can travel large distances and commonly reach the ground However, they lose energy proportional to the amount of matter they pass This is proportional to the density (g cm 3) times the path length (cm)
