Difference between Muon and Radiation

Muon vs. Radiation

The 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 1/2, but with a much greater mass. In physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium.

Similarities between Muon and Radiation

Muon and Radiation have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Chemical bond, Cosmic ray, Electron, Gamma ray, Meson, Muon, Neutrino, Neutron, Particle accelerator, Photon, Pion, Positron, Proton, Radioactive decay, Subatomic particle, X-ray.

Chemical bond

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, gamma ray, or electron in the case of internal conversion.
