Muons are unstable elementary particles that are found in space,
which can also be produced in particle accelerators to an intensity
a billion times greater than that occurring naturally. This book
describes the various applications of muons across the spectrum of
the sciences and engineering. Scientific research using muons
relies both on their basic properties as well as the microscopic
interaction between them and surrounding particles such as nuclei,
electrons, atoms and molecules. Examples of research that can be
carried out using muons include muon catalysis for nuclear fusion,
the application of muon spin probes to study microscopic magnetic
properties of advanced materials, electron labelling to help in the
understanding of electron transfer in proteins, and non-destructive
element analysis of the human body. Cosmic ray muons can also be
used to study the inner structure of volcanoes.
