B Muons, Positrons & IR Energy: A Muon Q&A

[kodybatill]

If a Chlorine Positron - Lithium Positron - and Argon Positron - all left the same unit of infrared energy at once - would the equivalent of a Muon(s) be taken by the interaction?

What do you mean by that? There is no such thing as a "Chlorine Positron" (and similar for the others), "infrared energy" is not a thing on its own, and what leaves what is unclear.

There is no "equivalent of a muon".

Well for instance - different isotopes can experience positron emission - for example as described here: "Isotopes on the lower side of the band tend to undergo positron emission." - http://web.fscj.edu/Milczanowski/psc/lect/CH7/isotopes.htm

It is in reference to Chlorine Isotopes I believe.

So do different positrons display different abilities or information depending on the atom they are emitted from?

Yes, that is a possible mode of radioactive decay for some isotopes.

No, all positrons are exactly the same type of particle.
They will have a different energy distribution depending on the energy released in the decay (which depends on the isotope).

All this has nothing to do with muons.
