Leptons are a type of fermion which are unaffected by the strong nuclear interaction.

Leptons are fundamental particles as they are not made of any smaller particles.

Leptons include:

Electron - A type of lepton with a mass of 9.11x10^-31kg and a charge of -1.60x10^-19 Coulombs.
Muon - A type of lepton often referred to as a 'heavy electron' same charge as an electron (-1.60x10^-19) Coulombs but a mass 206 times the mass of an electron.
Neutrino - A type of lepton with zero charge and negligible mass.

Leptons are affected by the:
