Keywords: lepton, neutrino, meson, elementary, heavier

A fundamental particle, identical to the electron, but approximately 200 times heavier. It is commonly found in cosmic rays.

The muon (from the letter mu (μ)--used to represent it) is an elementary particle with negative electric charge and a spin of 1/2. It has a half-life of 2.2Î¼s, longer than any other unstable lepton, meson or baryon except for the neutron. Together with the electron, the tau and the neutrinos, it is classified as a lepton.
