4.5.121 - Standard quark-lepton model question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

Experiments with muons are taking place at Fermilab in the USA to improve our understanding of the standard model.

The muon belongs to the same family of particles as the electron.

State how the muon is classified in the standard model.
