Particles called muons exist in cosmic rays and can be created in particle accelerators. Muons are very similar to electrons, having the same charge and spin, but they have a mass \(207\) times greater. When muons are captured by an atom, they orbit just like an electron but with a smaller radius, since the mass in \(a_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{h^2}{4\pi^2m_ekq_e^2}=0.529\times10^{-10}\ m\) is \(207\) \(m_{e}\).
