Explore: Leptons (nuclear Physics)

physics, a lepton is an elementary particle of half-integer spin (spin ⁠1/2⁠) that does not undergo strong interactions. Two main classes of leptons exist:

oscillations. All leptons carry a lepton number L = 1. In addition, leptons carry weak isospin, T3, which is −⁠1/2⁠ for the three charged leptons (i.e. electron
