Muons are just like electrons except in mass, and because of that they are unstable - but unusually can only decay by weak interactions, making them relatively easy to observe. It's like the way the heavy quarks decay, & the Higgs decays extremely quickly. The Standard Model has 3 fields, & quantum-gravity is expected to add a 4th. | |

| Apr 2, 2021 at 18:13 | comment | added | niels nielsen | If you are not a mathematician, I will warn you that the jump will be more of a dive. QFT is a description of particle physics which is unambiguously written in the language of abstract mathematics. It is far too hard for me. | |
| Apr 2, 2021 at 18:10 | comment | added | Jeff Bass | Yeah, I'm mostly just asking about a single quantum particle, but diving into QFT is the next big jump. | |
