Leptons

Post by Rum » Mon Jan 01, 2018 6:19 pm

Leptons and quarks are the basic building blocks of matter, i.e., they are seen as the "elementary particles". There are six leptons in the present structure, the electron, muon, and tau particles and their associated neutrinos. The different varieties of the elementary particles are commonly called "flavors", and the neutrinos here are considered to have distinctly different flavor.

Standard beta decay of a radioisotope releases, along with a high speed electron, an antineutrino...

Rationalia relies on voluntary donations. There is no obligation of course, but if you value this place and want to see it continue please consider making a small donation towards the forum's running costs.
Details on how to do that can be found here.

I think all the Leptons should be deported. They should go back to Leptonia.

It is a well known fact that most Leptons are also kleptomaniacs.

So you are right. Bastards!

Whereas Beta + decay, which releases a positron (AKA an anti electron) also releases a standard neutrino.

Symmetry. :levi:

A strange elementary particle went down to a bar, pinched the bottom of a waitress and was lepton by the bouncer.

These are dark matters. Was his name Higgs?
I think I know him. He's a real Boson.
