The 20 pages that link to Muon, each with the reason it gives.

• ElectronCompared with: It is a heavier lepton counterpart that decays into an electron.

• Special relativityBroader topic: Muons reaching Earth's surface illustrate time dilation in atmospheric particle showers.

• Neutrino astronomyRelated: Muon tracks can preserve the direction of the neutrino that produced them.

• PositronCompared with: The positive muon is an electron-like antiparticle, but it is far heavier and unstable.

• LeptonBroader topic: It is the second charged-lepton generation, heavier than the electron but otherwise similar in its interactions.

• Super-KamiokandeRelated: Muon tracks help identify atmospheric neutrinos and measure their arrival directions.

• Cloud chamberRelated: Cloud-chamber observations helped establish the muon as a distinct particle.

• Time dilationRelated: Fast muons reach the ground more often because their decay is slowed in Earth's frame.

• Muon decayNarrower topic: Its mass permits decay into an electron while conserving energy and lepton number.

• WorldlineRelated: Its worldline helps explain why fast-moving muons reach Earth's surface before decaying.

• Muon neutrinoRelated: It is the charged partner that defines the muon-neutrino family.

• Cosmogenic nuclideRelated: Muons penetrate farther into rock than most secondary cosmic-ray particles and produce nuclides at depth.

• Length contractionRelated: Earth-frame descriptions of atmospheric muons use contracted atmospheric distances to explain their detected arrival.

• Electron massCompared with: Its mass comparison with the electron tests lepton universality and particle theories.

• Melvin SchwartzRelated: Pontecorvo's proposed test used the association between muons and a distinct neutrino type.

• Jack SteinbergerRelated: The neutrino beam’s muon-producing interactions distinguished muon neutrinos from electron neutrinos.

• C. T. R. WilsonBroader topic: Cloud-chamber observations of cosmic rays helped establish the muon as a distinct particle.

• Carl David AndersonBroader topic: Anderson discovered this cosmic-ray particle in 1936.

• Cecil Frank PowellCompared with: The pion’s decay produced a particle initially mistaken for Yukawa’s predicted meson, later identified as the muon.

• Exotic atomRelated: Its mass makes muonic orbits much smaller and more sensitive to the nucleus.
