Abstract
Recent theoretical claims not withstanding, muons can and do oscillate. Muons produced in association with neutrinos (if masses and mixing angles are nonzero) exhibit a joint oscillating spatial distribution. The possible use of muon oscillations as a probe of neutrino mass and mixing parameters is discussed using very simple physical arguments. Space-time oscillations in the secondary decay vertices of muons (produced by pion decay) persist after summing over all undetected neutrinos.
