لپتون
In particle physics, a lepton is an elementary particle of half-integer spin (spin ) that does not undergo strong interactions. Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons or muons), including the electron, muon, and tauon, and neutral leptons, better known as neutrinos. Charged leptons can combine with other particles to form various composite particles such as atoms and positronium, while neutrinos rarely interact with anything, and are consequently rarely observed. The best known of all leptons is the electron.
AI overview
A lepton is a tiny fundamental particle that doesn't experience the strong force holding atomic nuclei together; the most familiar example is the electron, which helps form atoms, while other leptons like neutrinos barely interact with anything and are nearly impossible to detect. Leptons matter because they're building blocks of ordinary matter and help physicists understand the basic structure of the universe.
