Leptons Physics

Leptons are fundamental particles in physics that do not undergo strong interactions, unlike quarks. They include electrons, muons, and tau particles, along with their corresponding neutrinos (extremely light, neutral particles that rarely interact with matter). Neutrinos are crucial for understanding processes like nuclear reactions in stars and play a key role in particle physics. Their elusive nature means they can travel through vast amounts of matter without being detected, making them significant in studying cosmic events and fundamental forces of nature. Scientists explore leptons and neutrinos to uncover the universe's mysteries and test the limits of our physical theories.
