Abstract
Earlier it was shown [1], that neutrino is a specific magnetic γ-quantum, which as any γ-quantum carries away the reaction energy. This allows taking a fresh look at the chain of reactions pion±→ muon± → e±, which is accompanied by the emission of three neutrinos, but in which no other particles are generated. Since the role of neutrinos is a throwing away the energy of the initial particles, it is easy to conclude that both pion and muon are excited states of electron. The introduction of an additional assumption about the possible mechanism of the excited state of an elementary particle allows us to estimate the mass of these excited states. The obtained estimates are in good agreement with the experimentally measured values of the pion and muon masses.

It is important that there is a characteristic chain of transformations: Pion− → muon− → electron, in which these particles are connected only by successive radiation of several neutrinos (Figure 1)
Summary
Mesons are an integral part of the Standard model. It is assumed that μ-mesons, being leptons, do not have a quark structure and do not participate in reactions with strong interaction, unlike charged π-mesons, which consist of quarks and are characterized by strong interaction with other particles. The question about fields generated by oscillating electric or magnetic moments is considered in detail in all courses of classical electromagnetic theory. These courses do not address the issue of radiation, which should accompany the very quickly (relativistically quickly) turn on of the magnetic moment. The reason for this, apparently, is that it is technically impossible to turn on a magnetic moment relativistically quickly. Let consider briefly the description of electromagnetic wave radiation in vacuum, which is given by the standard Maxwell theory
