So these mesons can be produced. And because they're lighter than the proton, that's usually what... they'll be producing in the scattering process. And you make a ton of mesons in this process. And then the mesons are also unstable. And then they want to decay. So a big way that mesons tend to decay is into muons. Almost primarily, they always decay into muons and a muon neutrino.
