میون

A muon ( ; 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 a spin of  ħ, 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 constituent particles.

AI overview

A muon is a fundamental particle similar to an electron but much heavier, carrying a negative electric charge and classified as a type of particle called a lepton. Scientists consider muons to be basic building blocks of matter that are not made up of smaller particles.
