Muon
A muon is a subatomic particle similar to an electron. It carries a negative charge and has a greater mass. Muons are unstable and decay into other particles. They are produced in cosmic ray interactions. Their study helps physicists understand fundamental forces. Muons also have applications in particle physics experiments. They play a role in exploring the universe's mysteries.
