Talk:Lepton
|
|
The article states that "All known leptons have a negative or neutral charge." That statement is meaningless, as there is no fundamental reason one is a particle and the other is an antiparticle; by convention for leptons the particle is the negative one
--anon
- The article no longer states this. Careful though: leptons can have positive, negative or neutral charge.

IN cosmicastronomy.com IT IS WRITTEN THAT LEPTONS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VIRTUAL STEREO
Tau/Tauon?
Why is the Tau particle being called a Tauon throughout Wikipedia?
Lepton numbers
This page lacks any info on lepton numbers. I'm not sure I'm qualified to add it without making mistakes :) But here's a summary:
-There are three lepton numbers: electron, muon, and tau. You can see a sumary here: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/particles/lepton.html#c7 That info should be probably be included in the articles table.
-Lepton numbers are conserved during decays. Apparantly this is only approximately true and there are circumstance where the conservation breaks, but I don't know much about that. :)
