μ子是在太空中发现的不稳定的基本粒子，也可以在粒子加速器中产生，其强度比自然发生的强度大10亿倍。这本书描述了介子在科学和工程领域的各种应用。使用μ子的科学研究依赖于它们的基本性质以及它们与周围粒子（如原子核，电子，原子和分子）之间的微观相互作用。可以使用μ子进行的研究的例子包括用于核聚变的μ子催化，μ子自旋探针用于研究先进材料的微观磁性，电子标记以帮助理解蛋白质中的电子转移，以及人体的非破坏性元素分析。宇宙射线μ子也可以用来研究火山的内部结构。
Muons are unstable elementary particles that are found in space, which can also be produced in particle accelerators to an intensity a billion times greater than that occurring naturally. This book describes the various applications of muons across the spectrum of the sciences and engineering. Scientific research using muons relies both on their basic properties as well as the microscopic interaction between them and surrounding particles such as nuclei, electrons, atoms and molecules. Examples of research that can be carried out using muons include muon catalysis for nuclear fusion, the application of muon spin probes to study microscopic magnetic properties of advanced materials, electron labelling to help in the understanding of electron transfer in proteins, and non-destructive element analysis of the human body. Cosmic ray muons can also be used to study the inner structure of volcanoes.
