An experiment named E989 was used to measure the 'Magnetic Strength' of a fundamental particle called Muon in a 'Fermilab' laboratory located in USA. Its ‘Magnetic Moment’ will help determine its behavior in magnetic fields.
The Muon is one of the fundamental subatomic particles. They are similar to electrons but weigh more than 207 times as much. The muon is part of the lepton group. Leptons are a type of fundamental particle.
Approximately one Muon hits every square centimeter of the Earth every minute at sea level. This rate of natural background radiation increases at higher elevations.
Muons can help detect dangerous nuclear material and see into damaged nuclear power plants. Scientists use muons for archeological purposes.
