Muons are not protons, and they are not electrons; however, they do show themselves to be related to both particles by the fact that they run quickly between shells where the electrons orbit the nucleus. Muons rarely have a substantial growth rate and this means they do not proliferate before they are found being pushed out of the shells of an atom by the superior charge of protons. | Muons are not protons, and they are not electrons; however, they do show themselves to be related to both particles by the fact that they run quickly between shells where the electrons orbit the nucleus.
