Of course your muon idea demands the classic and well understood muon generator. Perhaps we can ask supply to send one up or find one for sale cheap at a hamfest.
In the above flippant paragraph I mean no disrespect or slight at you comment. It is just I am an old, grizzled enegineer and want to "have at it" and a muon generator is, most likely, not in anyone's immediate future.
I have always held that muons (which do make regular, real and viable tracks in real world detectors, are not currently elementary particles or even components of atoms! Instead, they are only bev and tev debris in our universe harking back to an ancient point in the universe where temperatures and energies were so dense and so tremendous that they could exist on a routine basis. A form of proto matter, if you will. They are brought into existence by us and cosmic ray interactions only in bev gev and tev energy reactions making microcosmic ancient universal conditions occur once again. This accounts not only for their short life (can't make it in the new, matured universe), but their absensce in normal kev and sub mev natural physical reactions. Solar events in the core still involve their production, but it is still probably rather short lived. Plancks constant moved on.........
As to you original question, I don't know. The standard model might allow it, but nature might not.
Let us know if you have any luck with the idea and I might have to re-think my opinions.
