technical
Having to do with a muon, a heavy unstable particle similar to the electron.
The word turns up in particle physics, most often in the phrase muonic atom, an atom in which a muon has taken the place of an orbiting electron. Because a muon is about two hundred times heavier than an electron, it circles much closer to the nucleus, which makes such atoms useful for measuring nuclear size. The adjective is formed from muon with the common suffix ic.
