In reply to Eric Walker's message of Wed, 12 Aug 2015 21:18:24 -0500: Hi, Perhaps more to the point, where does the energy come from to create the muon in the first place? A muon has a "mass" of 105.7 MeV. The only nuclear reaction that can produce that sort of energy in one go is a heavy element fission reaction. Even if the first one is a cosmic-ray muon, where do the rest come from? One muon can catalyze multiple fusion reactions, but these occur sequentially, and none of them release enough energy individually to produce a new muon.
