A muon is one of the so-called elementary particles, one with no smaller parts.

介子是所谓的基本粒子之，且不能再分。

See, there are three different kinds or flavors of neutrinos: electron neutrinos, tau neutrinos, and muon neutrinos.

看！有三味中微子：电子中微子、τ中微子、μ中微子。

These may be an electron and its antimatter equivalent, a positron, or two heavier leptons, a muon and an antimuon.

它们可能是电子和它的反质等价，正电子，或者两更重的轻子，介子和反介子。

So it emits phased muon particles.

它会阶段性放射出定相μ介子。

Okay. Get this. " Professor Jones told the symposium he had a new method " for calculating the mass of a muon.

好了，听听。斯教授在研讨会上说，他找到了计算μ介子质量的新方法。

Scientists used muons, a by-product of the cosmic rays constantly raining down on our planet, to image the interior of the pyramid.

科学家用μ介子来描绘金字塔内部的情况，μ介子是种持续落到地球上的宇宙射线的副产品。

But an analysis of results from the LHCB experiment (pictured), a purpose-built detector fitted to CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), suggests electron-positron pairs are more abundant than muon pairs.

但是对LHCB(欧洲核子研究中心的大型强子对撞机(LHC)专用探测器)实验结果的分析表明，电子-正电子的数量对比介子对更多。

These might be anything from a field biologist's notes of lemming populations on Spitzbergen to a physicist's creation of muon tracks in a cloud chamber, or from a set of equations in the mathematical imagination to a vast computer model of the world's climate.

在本书中你将会看到野外生学家对于斯匹茨卑根群岛上的旅鼠种群的阐述，理学家在云室里创建的μ介子轨迹，利用数学概念思考出的组方程式，以及巨型计算机模型中的全球气候。
