Thanks to this extra mass, muons radiate less energy than electrons as they travel in circles – meaning that a muon accelerator could, in principle, produce more energetic collisions than a conventional electron machine for a given energy input. Muons are sub-atomic particles similar to electrons, but around 200 times heavier.
