But it quickly took on new prominence in making bailout loans to financially unstable states.

该组织很快又在向财政不稳定的国家发放救助贷款方面发挥了新作用。

Next they bathe those ions in laser light, hoping to bump the muons up to a higher-energy but unstable state.

接下来， 他们将这些离子沐浴在激光中，希望将 μ 子提升到更高能量但不稳定的状态。

This form of radiation is often released when electrons transition from an unstable excited state, to a more stable state that has a lower energy.

当电子从不稳定的激发态跃迁到能量较低的更稳定态时，通常会释放这种形式的辐射。

So the muon starts in a semi-stable place—the food-messy desk—moves up to an unstable state—the clean desk—and then cascades down to a different stable ground state—the paper-messy desk.

因此，介子从一个半稳定的地方开始——食物凌乱的桌子——上升到一个不稳定的状态——干净的桌子——然后向下级联到另一个稳定的基态- 乱七八糟的桌子。

The laser energy used to move the muon up to that unstable state can be used to calculate the radius of the helium nucleus, which is 1.67824 femtometers—one femtometer being one quadrillionth of a meter.

用于将 μ 子移动到不稳定状态的激光能量可用于计算氦原子核的半径，即 1.67824 飞米——一个飞米是十亿分之一米。
