Hi Fred, Did I miss out on a previous discussion of this? Aren't all muons negative and why would a metastable one exist in an oxygen atom? Presumably the muon would be in place of an electron, but why would that allow forcing a proton into the oxygen's electron cloud, except for the muon's greater mass?
