About these units
Lepton (Biblical Roman) (lepton)
The lepton, one of the smallest denominations used in Judea under Roman rule, weighed roughly 0.1–0.2 grams. It is best known from the biblical story of the Widow's Mite, representing humility and sacrificial giving. As both a coin and a mass, the lepton represents the minimal economic unit of the ancient Near East.
Muon Mass (mᵤ)
The muon is a heavier cousin of the electron, with a mass of about 1.8835316 × 10⁻²⁸ kilograms, roughly 207 times more massive than the electron. Because the muon behaves like an electron but with much greater mass, it offers unique opportunities for probing fundamental physics. Muonic atoms—where a muon replaces an electron—allow extremely precise measurements of nuclear size due to the muon's tighter orbit. Muons are also produced naturally in Earth's atmosphere from cosmic rays and are widely studied in particle accelerators. Research into muon behavior has led to major discoveries, and the muon mass continues to attract interest in tests of physics beyond the Standard Model.
