A muon (/ ˈm (j) uː.ɒn / M (Y)OO-on; from the Greek letter mu (μ) used to represent it) is an elementary particle similar to the electron, with an electric charge of −1 e and spin-1/2, but with a much greater mass. 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 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.

2025年1月24日 · 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. The muon was discovered as a constituent of cosmic-ray particle “showers” in 1936 by the American physicists Carl D. Anderson and

2021年4月8日 · 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.

2024年12月8日 · 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. Let’s understand everything in order to understand why muons are so important to us. Muons in the atmosphere.

2024年4月16日 · Muons are elementary particles similar to electrons but with greater mass. They are created naturally in cosmic rays and play a crucial role in particle physics experiments. Muons have unique properties that make them useful for studying fundamental physics concepts.

Muons are the most numerous energetic charged particles at sea level. A charged particle cannot avoid losing energy by ionization. As it passes through matter the charged particle interacts with the electric fields and typically knocks loose some of the loosely bound outer electrons. A muon interacts very little with matter except by ionization.

2024年5月21日 · What is a Muon? A muon is a subatomic particle with a negative charge that is similar to an electron in that it has a negative charge and a similar spin. For simplicity, they are commonly represented by the Greek letter mu, or μ. Muons are considered elementary particles.

Muons are subatomic elementary particles, similar to electrons, but around 200 times heavier. Muons have a spin of a half and can be either positively or negatively charged (the antiparticle). The muons used in research are formed into beams and implanted into materials.

2021年4月8日 · What is a muon? Muons are basically like a heavy version of an electron. They are unstable particles so they have a lifetime of a fraction of a second after which they decay into other...
