Definitions from the WebNegative MuonDescription:A negative muon is a subatomic particle and an unstable cousin of an electron with a negative charge, belonging to the lepton family. It is denoted as μ− (muon negative) and is often referred to simply as a muon. Senses:Sense 1:In particle physics, a negative muon is mainly used to study fundamental particles and their interactions. Example sentence: The scientists observed the decay process of a negative muon into an electron and two neutrinos. Sense 2:A negative muon can be created when cosmic rays, originating from outer space, interact with the Earth's atmosphere. Example sentence: Cosmic ray showers in the upper atmosphere generate negative muons which can be detected by sensitive instruments. Related Products:Explore related products on Amazon: | ||||
