Lepton number

In particle physics, lepton number (historically also called lepton charge)is a conserved quantum number representing the difference between the number of leptons and the number of antileptons in an elementary particle reaction.Lepton number is an additive quantum number, so its sum is preserved in interactions (as opposed to multiplicative quantum numbers such as parity, where the product is preserved instead). Mathematically, the lepton number is defined by where * is the number of leptons and * is the number of antileptons. Lepton number was introduced in 1953 to explain the absence of reactions such as ν + n → p + e− in the Cowan–Reines neutrino experiment, which instead observed ν + p → n + e+ This process, inverse beta decay, conserves lepton number, as the incoming antineutrino has lepton number −1, while the outgoing positron (antielectron) also has lepton number −1.

Theory of numbers: Gauss's lemma

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We describe Gauss's lemma which gives a useful criterion for whether a number n is a quadratic residue of a prime p. We work it out explicitly for n = -1, 2 and 3, and as an application prove some cases of Di

Lepton Number Conservation | Standard Model of Particle Physics

The Standard Model of particle physics contains two kinds of particles: fermions and bosons. All fermions have half-integer spin and are again separated into two categories: quarks and leptons. Among those, there are three categories, so-called generations. And for bosons, particles carryi

Can leptogenesis explain why there's something instead of nothing?

"Why there is something, rather than nothing?" is a timeless question in both science and philosophy. In this video, Fermilab's Dr. Don Lincoln explains the theory of leptogenesis, which might be the answer.   The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is Fermilab's flagship program, which w
