Mesons. Meson . Muon 6629 . Pion 6629 . mu Mesons . mu-Meson . pi Mesons . pi-Meson . mu-Mesons . Muons . pi-Mesons . Pions . Short-lived elementary particles found in cosmic radiation or produced from nuclear disintegration. Their mass is between that of protons and electrons and they can be negative, positive, or neutral. pi-Mesons (pions) are heavier than mu-mesons (muons) and are proposed for cancer radiotherapy because their capture and disintegration by matter produces powerful, but short-lived, secondary radiation. . 0.57
