Meaning
An antilepton of very great mass.
Classification
Nouns denoting natural objects (not man-made).
Examples
- The tau-plus particle is the antiparticle of the tau-minus particle and has a very short lifetime due to its large mass.
- Physicists have been studying the properties of the tau-plus particle in high-energy collisions to gain insights into the structure of matter.
- The tau-plus particle, along with its partner the tau-minus particle, is one of the heavier leptons discovered so far.
- Due to its very great mass, the tau-plus particle is unstable and quickly decays into lighter particles.
- Research on the tau-plus particle has helped us better understand the behavior of antileptons and their role in the universe.
