SUMMARY:Experimental Muon Physics: an Overview\, High Energy Seminar\,
  David Webber\, University of Wisconsin Madison
DESCRIPTION:According to the Standard Model of particle physics\, muon
 s behave like<br>
\nheavy electrons which decay only via the weak forc
 e.  Their properties<br>
\nmake them especially well-suited to precisi
 on measurements of<br>
\nfundamental parameters of the Standard Model\
 , as well as searches for<br>
\nphysics beyond the Standard Model.  Mu
 ons have the longest lifetime of<br>
\nany fundamental particle which 
 still decays\, allowing them to form<br>
\nchemical bound states and p
 robe the structure of the proton.<br>
\nAdditionally\, muon decay maxi
 mally violates parity\, correlating the<br>
\ndecay electron with the 
 muon's spin and enabling measurements of g-2.<br>
\nIn this talk\, sev
 eral recent experimental results will be reviewed\,<br>
\nand some upc
 oming experiments will be presented.
