leptons

n. (plural of lepton English)

Usage examples of "leptons".

The three-of-a-kind combinations could be arranged in only one way and corresponded to leptons, which was why leptons could not carry a color charge and did not react to the strong nuclear force.

Nevertheless, all the exotic variations created could be accounted for by the same eight ground-state quarks and leptons, plus their respective antiparticles, together with the field quanta through which they interacted.

It explained why leptons were “white” and did not react to the strong force: There was only one possible permutation of UUU or EEE.

And it explained why the electrical charges on quarks and leptons were equal: They were carried by the same tweedles.

But the energy used to produce leptons was not nearly enough to produce a Higgs.

So also are the kliks and pseudo-kliks that compose the much less massive leptons, such as electrons and muons.

Only after Henry M'Bokoko's theory of leptons and pseudo-leptons was it realised there were yet more elementary entities.

The Standard Model consists of six quarks, six leptons, five known bosons and a postulated sixth, the Higgs boson (named for a Scottish scientist, Peter Higgs), plus three of the four physical forces: the strong and weak nuclear forces and electromagnetism.

This postulates that all those little things like quarks and leptons that we had previously thought of as particles are actually “strings”—vibrating strands of energy that oscillate in eleven dimensions, consisting of the three we know already plus time and seven other dimensions that are, well, unknowable to us.

At the smallest level he was composed of an inconceivable number of quarks and leptons, oscillating and spinning.

The very quarks and leptons that comprised him were not exclusively “his”—they were descendants of the energy of the universe-creation explosion, and after they existed as Wesley they would exist in a star or planet or tree.

Tridee leptons and Kurita-Kinoshita sun fields traveled through space-plus.
