muon

The point is to see if they are still muon-neutrinos when they arrive at Super-Kamiokande.

Whenever a muon collides with a hydrogen molecule, it knocks the molecule apart and replaces the electron to create muonic hydrogen.

The surprising result was obtained by studying "muonic" hydrogen in which the electron is replaced by a much heavier muon.

Scientists from the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid detector has now totted up all of the resulting particle interactions.

The muon's larger mass gives muonic hydrogen a smaller atomic size and allows a much larger interaction with the proton.

The neutrino-manufacturing process at J-PARC smashes protons into rods of graphite to churn out muon-neutrinos.

But they could also be easily mistaken for the far more common muon.

Going this deep would help reduce the background signals from cosmic ray muon particles.

There are three types of neutrinos: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos.

The theory is that when a muon encounters a gas molecule, it can knock off an electron, leaving a positively charged ion in its wake.

this scheme allows no room for the muon and the question arises of what to do with it

Well, the initial MiniBooNe experimental run used a muon neutrino beam, whereas the original LSND experiment used a muon antineutrino beam;
