==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
A '''muon''' ('''μ''') is a type of [[lepton]] with a [[mass]] 206 times that of an [[electron]] and a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of -1.60x10<sup>-19</sup> [[Coulomb]]s (the same as an [[electron]]).

===About Muons===
: '''Muons''' are [[Fundamental Particle|fundamental particles]] as they are not made of any smaller [[particle]]s.
: '''Muons''' have a very short [[Half Life|half life]] and will [[Radioactive Decay|decay]] into an [[electron]], a [[muon-neutrino]] and an [[antielectron-neutrino]].
: '''Muons''' are affected by the:
:*[[Weak Nuclear Interaction]]
:*[[Electromagnetic Interaction]]
:*[[Gravitational Interaction]]
