The muon is an elementary particle. It has a negative electric charge and half spin. Its symbol is "μ-". It is one type of lepton.
The muon has an average life time of 2.2 micro-seconds or 0.0000022 seconds.
A muon is like an electron but it is 200 times heavier. Unlike an electron, it decays into other particles. The superparticle of a muon is called a "smuon."
Muons can be made in particle acceleratorswith energy levels above 105.7 MeV. Cosmic rays from the Sun also make muons:
The photons in the cosmic rays crash into air molecules.Pions are made in the crashThe pions undergo atomic decay into neutrinos and muons.
Thank you
