| Abstract: | Physics using muons spans a wide range of topics. The first and perhaps most interesting question is why muons exist at all: Why are there families of subatomic particles? Historically, muons provided fundamental information about the weak interaction. Muons were long used to probe the structure of the nucleus and we review that work. More recently, just some of the topics are the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, the Rydberg constant through the proton charge radius puzzle, and charged lepton flavor violation. Muons are being used to study the insides of volcanoes and reactors. In this talk we cover some of these diverse topics, leaving out other fascinating work, at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. | |
