RE: PPCC7 - basic principles for detecting elementary particles with onions
@lemouth you are gradually building my interest in physics.. I hated physics because my teachers made it look so difficult and uninteresting but now I am generating an interest I wish I had a long time ago.. this is the first time I've come across the term "muons"
Muons are well known particles for about 85 years. Those can be seen as heavy electrons, to summarize that by a lot. They are produced in cosmic rays, for instance. I recommend to start checking the wikipedia page for more information, and I will then be happy to answer any further question.
