Bound muons (also pions, kaons, etc) increase the fission barrier and produce some stabilizing effects for highly charged nuclei. If the binding energy of the muon exceeds $mc^2$, it becomes stable. The $1s$ state of a muon inside an exotic…
Fermion compositness, and other new physics which can be described by an exchange of very massive particles ($Z^\prime$ boson, leptoquarks, sparticles with R-parity violating couplings), can be manifest itself as the presence of a strong…
