SELFPROOF 0703 - MUONS AND TAUONS


CURRENT COSMOLOGY MODEL



Muon

The muon is an elementary particle similar to the electron with unitary negative electric charge of -1 and a spin of
½, but with a much greater mass (105.7 MeV/c²). It is classified as a lepton, together with the electron (mass 0.511 MeV/c²), the tau (mass 1.777.8 MeV/c²), and three neutrinos. As is the case with other leptons, the muon is not believed to have any sub-structure;  namely, it is not thought to be composed of any simpler particles. The muon is an unstable subatomic particle with a mean lifetime of 2.2 µs. (Wikipedia 26 November 2014)

On Earth, most naturally occurring muons are created by cosmic rays, which consist mostly of protons, many arriving from deep space at very high energy. When a cosmic ray proton impacts atomic nuclei in the upper atmosphere, pions are created. These decay within a relatively short distance into muons and muon neutrinos. (Wikipedia 26 November 2014)

The dominant muon decay mode is the simplest possible:  the muon decays to an electron, an electron antineutrino, and a muon neutrino. Antimuons, in mirror fashion, most often decay to the corresponding antiparticles:  an antielectron, an electron neutrino and a muon antineutrino. The mean lifetime of a muon is (2.196 9811 ± 0.000 0022) µs. The equality of the muon and antimuon lifetimes has been established to better than one part in 104. (Wikipedia 26 November 2014)

Tauon

The tauon is an elementary particle similar to the electron with negative electric charge and a spin of ½. Together with the electron, the muon and the three neutrinos, it is classified as a lepton. Like all elementary particles, the tauon has a corresponding antiparticle of opposite charge but equal mass and spin. (Wikipedia 27 November 2014)

Tauons have a lifetime of
2.9×10−13 s and a mass of 1776.82 MeV/c2. Since their interactions are very similar to those of the electron, a tauon can be thought of as a much heavier version of the electron. (Wikipedia 27 November 2014)

  • CONCLUSION 0715 – The chaotic structure of a blackholepair is brought to order by the constituent blackholes becoming quarks, one axial and other centrifugal.
  • CONCLUSION 0716 – In a multiprocess, the mass of the understable axial quark decreases and the mass of the overstable blackholepair increases until the blackholepair stabilises and becomes a stable electron. 

COMMENTARY


In the Current Model, electrons, muons, and tauons are viewed as varieties of the same thing. While there are marked differences between them, in their measures of mass, energy, and lifespan, they are seen as mechanically the same with the differences being of scale rather than of fundamentals. They are classed as elementary particles:  that is as particles which are not made out of anything less substantial.

The Current Model see these these particles in this way because it is devolutionary - no evidence has come to light suggesting they should be seen in any other way and no theory/hypothesis suggesting they could be seen another way has become predominant.

The Malta Template is evolutionary. In it, electrons, muons, and tauons are particles that arise naturally and without forcing from what has come before. They are composite particles with each consisting of two subparticles. The subparticles are quarks with one being axial and the other centrifugal. 

Apart from their different mass and energy measures, the crucial difference between the particles is that the electron is stable and muons/tauons are not. After a predictable period, muons and tauons decay into electrons. They do this, inevitably and unpreventably, because they are not just unstable:  they are understable. Effectively, muons and tauons are not "independent" particles at all but "electrons in waiting" - protoelectrons.

A muon's mass is just over 200 times that of an electron and a tauon's mass is 3500 times. They are this way because each is created in specific conditions and from specific actions - in the same way that a specific amount of wet concrete in a truck-mixer will make a specific area of road surface. This extreme massiveness is a factor in their rapid decay - with the decay of the supermassive tauon being much more impressive than the already impressive decay of the muon. This same effect can be seen on a larger scale in that the more massive a star is, the faster and more impressive is its decay.

To decay into electrons, muons and tauons must eject prodigious amounts of excess mass and energy in an extremely short time. Much of this excess is ejected via the high pressure jet at the north pole (above the north pole of the axial quark). The pressure within the jet is such that large numbers of adjacent teels are forced together  to become stable teelpairs. Of these stable teelpairs, a smaller number are forced together to become stable blackholes. Of these stable blackholes, a smaller number become sufficiently massive to become photons and neutrinos.The mass of the tauon is such that in some conditions it can force pairs of blackholes together within its jet to become pions or electrons.

Exactly how many pions, electrons, photons, and neutrinos are created during the stabilisation process is predictable although not exactly so. This decay is a mechanical process which, given identical conditions, will take a precise time and deliver precise results. However all conditions are not identical. Decaying a muon/tauon within a dense and fast teelstream will take longer than in a teelstream that is thin and slow because the ejection of mass and energy has to counter that being absorbed from the teelstream. .

The longer decay takes to complete, the greater the number of pions, electrons, photons and neutrinos that will be produced. In a teelstream sufficiently fast and dense, muons and tauons may enter a form of stasis with ejection and absorption balanced and the production of pions, electrons, photons, and neutrinos being continuous. In a teelstream with even more density and speed, muons and tauons may become so understable that they break apart, with their constituent quarks decaying to photons, blackholes, and solo teels.

Mention should be made here of pions since they have a role in the decay of both muons and tauons.. Pions are composite particles consisting of a pair of quarks. They can be charged pions (one axial and one centrifugal quark) or neutral pions (two centrifugal quarks). There is no such thing as stable pion. They are understable and rapidly decay into something else. Charged pions usually decay into muons and muon neutrinos. Neutral pions usually decay into decay into gamma photons. 

Cosmic electrons formed in the early Universe and it seems likely that muons and tauons also formed at this time. The difference is that some cosmic electrons, being stable particles, are possibly still with us while cosmic muons and cosmic tauons, being understable, cannot be. It is very likely, given that the extreme teel density in the early Universe would have inhibited decay, that the lifetimes of cosmic muons and tauons were longer than they are now but even so the chances of any surviving till today are probably nil.





GLOSSARY

The muon was originally called the mu-meson and was once thought to be a meson. (American Heritage Science Dictionary)     (2) Muons are stabilisation particles emitted by other particles which are understable and attempting to become stable. Muons are understable. They consist of one axial and one centrifugal quark. Muons usually decay into an electron plus numbers of neutrinos and photons.      
  • PION:  (1) A meson occurring either in a neutral form with a mass 264 times that of an electron and a mean lifetime of 8.4 x 10-17 seconds or in a positively or negatively charged for with a mass 273 times that of an electron and a mean lifetime of 2.6 x 10-8 seconds. (American Heritage Science Dictionary)      (2) Pions are stabilisation particles:  particles emitted by other particles which are understable and attempting to become stable. Pions are understable and come in two forms:  neutral pions and charged pions. Neutral pions consist of a pair of centrifugal quarks. Neutral pions usually decay into gamma photons. Charged pions consist of one axial and one centrifugal quark. Charged pions usually decay into muons and muon neutrinos.  
  • TAUON:  (1)  An elementary particle of the lepton family, having a mass about 3,550 times that of the electron, a negative electric charge, and a mean lifetime of 3 x 10-13 seconds.
