Precision studies and tests of fundamental interactions and symmetries are a focus point of modern particle physics. With the success of the present Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and simultaneously with the need for new physics to fix known deficiencies a broad search program is under way to probe at all energy scales for the unknown. Precision measurements of quantities which can be accurately predicted in the SM and also especially those which are predicted to be null or negligibly small turn out to provide some of the most stringent constraints for many new physics scenarios. Besides some detours, this paper concentrates on precision physics using neutrons, pions and muons, the lightest unstable particles of their kind, produced at the most powerful proton accelerators.
