Abstract
A partial solution to the muon puzzle is offered. Discrete scale transformations are used to derive a mass spectrum for leptons which includes all the observed leptons. The difference between the electron and muonlike particles is demonstrated explicitly. Experimental tests of the theory are discussed including the detection of the predicted 22-GeV electron.Keywords
