text: Because muons are charged, before decaying they lose energy by displacing electrons from atoms (ionization).
text: Up to energies of the order of 10n-1012 eV, muons lose their energy mainly to ionization of the atoms of the medium, whereas at higher energies energy losses caused by the production of electron-positron pairs, the emission of gamma quanta of bremsstrahlung, and the splitting of atomic nuclei become essential.
text: But the truly exciting fraction of those events is due to the muons which arrive with much-less-than-average kinetic energy, because such muons can lose enough energy in the scintillator to come to rest inside it.
