Klein Gordon Lagrangian is given by
\mathcal{L}=\frac{1}{2}\partial_{\mu}\phi\partial^{\mu}\phi-\frac{1}{2}m^2\phi^2
I saw also this link

Can someone explain me, what is
\partial_{\mu}\phi\partial^{\mu}\phi
this is some sumation so I suppose that ##\mu## is dummy index? Right? So is it correct to write
\partial_{\mu}\phi\partial^{\mu}\phi=\partial_{\alpha}\phi\partial^{\alpha}\phi?
