The Tauon
|
Symbol: τ- Group: fermion, lepton Rest mass: 1.91 u Charge: -1 e Mean lifetime: 2.9 x 10-13 sec Spin: 1/2 Generation: 3 |
The tauon is a particle very similar to the muon, but much heavier and more unstable than this. It decays to this or to electrons and to the according anti- neutrinos or even to hadrons. |
