*Has the same [[mass]] as a [[muon]] but opposite charge.
*[[MuonsMuon]] s and [[antimuonsantimuon]] s are part of the [[lepton]] family.*[[AntimuonsAntimuon]] s are created in high-energy collisions and cosmic ray interactions.*[[Antimuon]]s are unstable and [[Decay (Physics)|decay]] into [[positron]]s, [[neutrino]]s, and [[antineutrino]]s.*The [[Decay (Physics)|decay]] of [[antimuon]]s is mediated by the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak nuclear force]].*[[Antimuon]]s are used in [[Particle Physics|particle physics]] experiments to study the properties of the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak force]].*[[Antimuon]]s can be detected using specialized detectors like [[scintillator]]s and [[Cherenkov Detector|Cherenkov detectors]].
===Examples===
*[[AntimuonsAntimuon]] s are detected in particle physics experiments.
*They are involved in studies of weak interactions and [[particle]] [[Decay (Physics)|decay]] processes.
