text: Because the muon is a lepton, the atomic energy levels of muonium can be calculated with great precision from quantum electrodynamics (QED), unlike in the case of hydrogen, where the precision is limited by uncertainties related to the internal structure of the proton.
text: Collectively, the electrons, muons, taus and neutrinos are called leptons.
text: In a muonic atom (previously called a mu-mesic atom, now known to be a misnomer as muons are not mesons), an electron is replaced by a muon, which, like the electron, is a lepton.
text: The muon is a lepton which decays to form an electron or positron.
text: A second way we could get at the same answer is by recognizing that a muon is a lepton and therefore has a lepton number of positive one, while an antimuon is an antilepton and therefore has a lepton number of negative one.
