Example
Leptons are elementary particles that include electrons, muons, tau particles, and their associated neutrinos.
Leptons are fundamental building blocks of matter and play a crucial role in the particle zoo described by the Standard Model.
Experimental studies, such as those in high-energy physics, aim to probe the properties and interactions of leptons.
Leptons are not affected by the strong nuclear force, unlike quarks, making them distinct in the particle world.
Leptons are crucial in understanding processes like beta decay, where a neutron transforms into a proton, emitting a beta particle (electron) and an antineutrino.
