Lepton

freebase

 
Leptons are a family of elementary particles, alongside quarks and gauge bosons (also known as force carriers). Like quarks, leptons are fermions (spin-⁄2 particles) and are subject to the electromagnetic force, the gravitational force, and weak interaction. But unlike quarks, leptons do not participate in the strong interaction. There are six flavours of leptons, forming three generations.... Read enhanced Wikipedia article

Results for "leptons include particles"

Fermion Leptons include the electron and similar, heavier particles (the muon and tauon); they also include neutrinos.

Results for "leptons include tauon"

Fermion Leptons include the electron and similar, heavier particles (the muon and tauon); they also include neutrinos.

Results for "leptons include muon"

Fermion Leptons include the electron and similar, heavier particles (the muon and tauon); they also include neutrinos.

Results for "leptons include electron"

Fermion Leptons include the electron and similar, heavier particles (the muon and tauon); they also include neutrinos.

carry :
charge, lepton and T3.

Results for "leptons carry charge"

Standard Model The remaining six fermions do not carry color charge and are called leptons.

Standard Model (mathematical formulation) Leptons carry no colour charge; quarks do.

Matter Unlike quarks, leptons do not carry colour charge, meaning that they do not experience the strong interaction.

Results for "leptons carry lepton"

Flavour (particle physics) All leptons carry a lepton number L = 1.

Results for "leptons carry T3"

Flavour (particle physics) In addition, leptons carry weak isospin, T3, which is −1⁄2 for the three charged leptons (i.e. electron, muon and tauon) and +1⁄2 for the three associated neutrinos.

mix :
matrix and angles.

Results for "leptons mix matrix"

Neutrino oscillation represents the Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata matrix (also called the PMNS matrix, lepton mixing matrix, or sometimes simply the MNS matrix).

Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata matrix In particle physics, the Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata matrix (PMNS matrix), Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata matrix (MNS matrix), lepton mixing matrix, or neutrino mixing matrix, is a unitary matrix which contains information on the mismatch of quantum states of leptons when they propagate freely and when they take part in the weak interactions.

Results for "leptons mix angles"

Tribimaximal mixing In the standard (PDG) convention for the PMNS matrix, tribimaximal mixing may be specified in terms of lepton mixing angles as follows:

    Lepton epoch

    In physical cosmology, the lepton epoch was the period in the evolution of the early universe in which the leptons dominated the mass of the universe. It started roughly 1 second after the Big Bang, after the majority of hadrons and anti-hadrons annihilated each other at the end of the hadron epoch.
