Lepton Physics

Lepton physics studies fundamental particles known as leptons, which include electrons, muons, and neutrinos. These particles interact via electromagnetic and weak forces, playing a crucial role in the universe's structure. Phenomenology in this context involves using theoretical models to understand and predict lepton behavior and interactions, often tested in particle accelerators. By examining lepton properties and their interactions, researchers aim to uncover the underlying principles of particle physics, contributing to our knowledge of matter and the fundamental forces governing the universe.
