The muon is a heavier relative of the electron; it is unstable, as we’ve seen. The tauon is an even heavier relative of the muon and the electron, with a half-life of only 2.9 x 10-13 s. A tauon is moving through a detector at 0.999c. If the tauon lives for one half-life, how far will it travel through the detector before decaying?
