[Opinion] How muons scientify girls. SOURCE: Cooperativa - by: Giovanna Cottin
Muons are elementary particles similar to the electrons in our atoms. But they are not found in atoms. They rain down on us like a cascade of particles from the sky, generated by the interaction of cosmic rays (such as high-energy protons) with our atmosphere. They are little-known particles, but they are abundant. There are almost 200 […]
