Such high-energy cosmic ray collisions produce a shower of secondary particles, principally kaons (K mesons) and pions (pi-mesons), which in turn decay spontaneously into muons. [Sci. Amer. Oct. 42/3]. 4, record 1, English, - kaon

... the superheated plasma will give rise to many more s quarks and antiquarks ... [that] will eventually decay, but the processes responsible for their decay are relatively slow, and many of them will escape the fireball. They will escape inside particles such as K mesons and lambda particles, which experimenters are eminently equipped to observe. 5, record 1, English, - kaon
