Muon anti-neutrino

The well-known proton, neutron, and electron are now thought to be members of a group that includes other fundamental particles that have been discovered or hypothesized by physicists. These very elemental particles, of which all matter is made, are now thought to belong to one of two families namely, quarks or leptons. Each of these two families consists of six particles. Also, there are four different force carriers that lead to interactions between particles. The six members or flavors of the quark family are called up, charm, top, down, strange, and bottom. The force carriers for the quarks are the gluon and the photon. The six members of the lepton family are the e neutrino, the mu neutrino, the tau neutrino, the electron, the muon particle, and the tau particle. The force carriers for these are the w boson and the z boson. Furthermore, it appears that each of these particles has an anti-particle that has an opposite electrical charge from the above particles. [Pg.652]

Elementary particles come in only two kinds quarks and leptons. There are only six quarks and six leptons, see Table 10.2. The leptons are the electron, e, the muon, fi, and the tauon (tau particle), t, and their respective neutrinos. The quarks and leptons are grouped together in three families (or generations) of two quarks and two leptons each. This makes 12 elementary building blocks, or 24 if one counts their anti particles Table 10.2 only refers to our matter (i.e. koino matter). The leptons and quarks all have different properties and names, sometimes also referred to as colors. The physical theory relating these particles to each other is therefore named Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD). [Pg.295]

All particles are divided into two groups quarks and leptons. Leptons include the electron, muon, tauon, and the corresponding neutrinos c /v, p /v, and -r"/v and their anti-particles e /v, and Muons are beheved to have... [Pg.95]
