Robin—
I do not consider muons are leptons in the same sense that positrons and electrons are. I agree with the high energy scattering experiments evaluated by W. Stubbs showing the muons are made up of 200 plus particles about the mass of an electron. Philippe Hatt’s theory of nuclear structure supports this composition for muons, consistent with the Stubb’s conclusion IMHO.
