... leptons ...
- Any of a family of elementary particles that participate in the weak interaction, including the electron, the muon, and their associated neutrinos.
- An elementary particle having no internal constituents which interacts through the electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational forces, but does not interact through the strong (nuclear) force. Leptons are very small, less than 10-18 m in size. This is less than 10-3 the size of a nucleus and less than 10-8 the size of an atom. Indeed, existing measurements are consistent with leptons being point particles.
- Any member of a class of fermions that respond only to electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational forces and do not take part in strong interactions. Leptons have a half-integral spin and obey the Pauli exclusion principle. They can either carry one unit of electric charge or be neutral. The charged leptons are the electrons, muons, and taus. Each has a negative charge and a distinct mass. Each charged lepton has an associated neutral partner, or neutrino, which has no electric charge and very little if any mass.

Just as well it wasnt there on Saturday....passed that point at many leptons!!!
Or Friday for that matter.Edited by FezzaDezza on Thursday 28th June 13:56
I was demonstrating the er, cruising ability of my motor car to a potential buyer. Probably best not to mention that at one point the leptometer was registering 1.4....
...oh wait...
