Muon Structure

Second Generation Lepton | Mass: 105.7 MeV/c² | Spin: 1/2 | Charge: -1

CPP Muon Model: Caged Electron

Why the Muon is Heavy

The muon is essentially an electron with a tetrahedral cage of eDP pairs surrounding it. This cage adds ~105 MeV of mass through PSR chaining between the eDP pairs - about 207× the electron mass. The muon is unstable because the cage can decay, releasing the energy as an electron and neutrinos. Mean lifetime is 2.2 μs before decay: μ⁻ → e⁻ + ν̄e + νμ.
