Dimuon | Dimuon
A dimuon or "dimuon pair" is a muon-antimuon pair that results from a particle decay. For example, the Z boson can decay into dimuons. |
Muon | Muon
The muon (from the Greek letter μ) is an elementary particle similar to but much more massive than the electron.
The muon has electric charge -1 and a spin 1/2; an antimuon is the same but with charge +1.
The muon is classified, with the electron, the tau, and the neutrinos, as a lepton. Leptons are fundamental particles
that do not interact via the strong force. |

metadata | Metadata (meta data, or sometimes metainformation) is "data about other data". The e-Lab stores metadata for the Cosmic Ray data files, plots and posters. Searching metadata is a powerful way to find the data you want. Read more about metadata on Wikipedia. |
milestone | The color of the dot indicates where on the site you will be working for that milestone (for example, blue dots correspond to the Data section). |
