This is why we want to work with across variables that have not been overly differentiated.

Source

Modelica By Example

An essential point here is that differentiation is lossy. If we know position, we can easily express velocity. But if we only know velocity, we cannot compute position without knowing an additional integration constant.

Source

Modelica By Example

If we had chosen velocity (the derivative of position with respect to time), then we would have been in the awkward situation of trying to describe the behavior of a spring in terms of velocities, not positions.

Source

Modelica By Example

So, for example, we chose position for translational motion because position is used in describing the behavior of a spring (i.e., Hooke’s law).

Source

Modelica By Example

The second constraint is that the across variable should be the lowest order derivative to appear in any of our constitutive or empirical equations in the domain.

Source

Modelica By Example

The reason for this constraint is that the through variable will be used to formulate generalized conservation equations in our system. As such, it is essential that the through variables be conserved quantities.

Source

Modelica By Example

The first constraint is that the through variable should be the time derivative of some conserved quantity.

Source

Modelica By Example

You may have seen a similar table before with slightly different choices. For example, you will sometimes see velocity (in ) chosen as the across variable for translational motion. The choices above are guided by two constraints.

Source

Modelica By Example

The following table covers four different engineering domains. In each domain, we see the choice of through and across variables that we will be using along with the SI units for those quantities.

Source

Modelica By Example

In this section, we’ll discuss relatively simple engineering domains. These are ones where a connector deals with only one through and one across variable. Conceptually, this means that only one conserved quantity is involved with that connector.

Source

Modelica By Example

As we will see in many of the examples to come, there are many different types of relationships between the through and across variables (Ohm’s law being just one of many).

Source

Modelica By Example

These flows are usually the result of some difference in the across variables across a component model. For example, current flowing through a resistor is in response to a voltage difference across the two sides of the resistor.

Source

Modelica By Example

The second class of variables we will discuss are “through” variables (also called flow variables). Flow variables normally represent the flow of some conserved quantity like mass, momentum, energy, charge, etc.

Source

Modelica By Example

Typical examples of across variables, that we will be discussing shortly, are temperature, voltage and pressure. Differences in these quantities typically lead to dynamic behavior in the system.

Source

Modelica By Example

The first class of variables we will discuss are “across” variables (also called potential or effort variables). Differences in the values of across variables across a component are what trigger components to react.

Source

Modelica By Example

In order to understand one specific class of connector semantics, it is first necessary to understand a bit more about acausal formulations of physical systems. An acausal approach to physical modeling identifies two distinct classes of variables.

In 1990, the International Committee for Weights and Measures stated that it was too early to choose a single symbol for the litre.

Source

In the UK and Ireland, as well as the rest of Europe, lowercase l is used with prefixes, though whole litres are often written in full (so, "750 ml" on a wine bottle, but often "1 litre" on a juice carton).

Source

In these countries, the symbol L is also used with prefixes, as in mL and μL, instead of the traditional ml and μl used in Europe.

Source

The United States National Institute of Standards and Technology now recommends the use of the uppercase letter L, a practice that is also widely followed in Canada and Australia.

Source

Therefore, the digit "1" may easily be confused with the letter "l". In some computer typefaces, the two characters are barely distinguishable. As a result, L (uppercase letter L) was adopted by the CIPM as an alternative symbol for litre in 1979.

Source

Originally, the only symbol for the litre was l (lowercase letter L), following the SI convention that only those unit symbols that abbreviate the name of a person start with a capital letter.

Source

The litre (British English spelling) or liter (American English spelling) (SI symbols L and l, other symbol used: ℓ) is a metric unit of volume. It is equal to 1 cubic decimetre (dm^3), 1000 cubic centimetres (cm^3) or 0.001 cubic metre (m^3).

The enthalpy of vaporization of Water at 100 deg C = 2257 (J/g)

Source

The enthalpy of vaporization is often quoted for the normal boiling temperature of the substance.

Source

The enthalpy of vaporization is a function of the pressure at which that transformation takes place.

Source

The enthalpy of vaporization (symbol ∆Hvap), also known as the (latent) heat of vaporization or heat of evaporation, is the amount of energy (enthalpy) that must be added to a liquid substance to transform a quantity of that substance into a gas.

Source

The volumetric heat capacity can also be expressed as the specific heat capacity (heat capacity per unit of mass, in J/K/kg) times the density of the substance (in kg/L, or g/mL).

Source

The SI unit of volumetric heat capacity is joule per kelvin per cubic meter, J/K/m3 or J/(K·m3).

Source

Informally, it is the amount of energy that must be added, in the form of heat, to one unit of volume of the material in order to cause an increase of one unit in its temperature.

Source

The volumetric heat capacity of a material is the heat capacity of a sample of the substance divided by the volume of the sample.

Also, the fluid flow in the tank, fluidFlow, is related to the change in the fluid height level fluidHeight over time and the cross-sectional surface area of the tank, surfaceArea.

Source

The tank constraints specify that the pressure in the tank, pressure depends on the height of the fluid level in the tank, fluidHeight, as well as properties of the fluid, fluidDensity.

Source

The sum of the fluid flow rates going through the two pipe openings is zero (the fluid is assumed to be incompressible).

Source

The magnitude of fluid flow rate through the pipe fluidFlow is the same as the magnitude of flow rates opening1FluidFlow and opening2FluidFlow going through the pipe’s openings, though the values differ in sign.

Source

The fluid flow rate through the pipe, fluidFlow, is proportional to the pressure difference by the constant resistance, which depends on the geometric properties of the pipe as well as fluidic properties.

Source

The pipe constraints specify that the pressure pressureDiff across it is equal to the difference of fluid pressures opening1Pressure and opening2Pressure at each end of the pipe.

Instead of the client specifying which service it will use, the injector tells the client what service to use. The "injection" refers to the passing of a dependency (a service) into the object (a client) that would use it.

Source

In the typical "using" relationship the receiving object is called a client and the passed (that is, "injected") object is called a service. The code that passes the service to the client can be many kinds of things and is called the injector.

Source

In software engineering, dependency injection is a technique in which an object receives other objects that it depends on. These other objects are called dependencies.

In an imperfect lens L, all the rays do not pass through a focal point. The smallest circle that they pass through C is called the circle of least confusion.

Source

This is a major advantage for solar telescopes, where a field stop (Gregorian stop) can reduce the amount of heat reaching the secondary mirror and subsequent optical components.

Source

In the Gregorian design, the primary mirror creates a real image before the secondary mirror. This allows for a field stop to be placed at this location, so that the light from outside the field of view does not reach the secondary mirror.

Source

As the name implies, the "tube" of this design is actually composed of an upper 'cage assembly', which contains the secondary mirror, and focuser, held in place by several rigid poles over a ‘mirror box’ which contains the objective mirror.

Source

Collapsible "truss tube" Dobsonians appeared in the amateur telescope making community as early as 1982 and allow the optical tube assembly, the largest component, to be broken down.

Source

In optics, the f-number of an optical system such as a camera lens is the ratio of the system's focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil ("clear aperture"). It is also known as the focal ratio, f-ratio, or f-stop

In a prime focus design no secondary optics are used, the image is accessed at the focal point of the primary mirror.

The Gregorian telescope consists of two concave mirrors; the primary mirror (a concave paraboloid) collects the light and brings it to a focus before the secondary mirror (a concave ellipsoid) where it is reflected back through a hole in the centre ...

Film or a digital sensor may be located here to record the image, or a secondary mirror may be added to modify the optical characteristics and/or redirect the light to film, digital sensors, or an eyepiece for visual observation.

A curved primary mirror is the reflector telescope's basic optical element that creates an image at the focal plane [OF THE PRIMARY IF THERE IS NO SECONDARY]. The distance from the mirror to the focal plane is called the focal length.

Source

rays that enter the system parallel to the optical axis are focused such that they pass through the rear focal point

Source

A principal focus or focal point is a special focus: For a lens, or a spherical or parabolic mirror, it is a point onto which collimated light parallel to the axis is focused.

Source

If the medium surrounding the optical system has a refractive index of 1 (e.g., air or vacuum), then the distance from the principal planes to their corresponding focal points is just the focal length of the system.

Source

The front and rear (or back) focal planes are defined as the planes, perpendicular to the optic axis, which pass through the front and rear focal points.

Source

An object infinitely far from the optical system forms an image at the rear focal plane.

Source

Although the focus is conceptually a point, physically the focus has a spatial extent, called the blur circle. This non-ideal focusing may be caused by aberrations of the imaging optics.

Source

In geometrical optics, a focus, also called an image point, is the point where light rays originating from a point on the object converge.

Source

A real image occurs where rays converge, whereas a virtual image occurs where rays only appear to diverge.

Source

In ray diagrams ... real rays of light are always represented by full, solid lines; perceived or extrapolated rays of light are represented by dashed lines.

Source

A real image ... is an image which is located in the plane of convergence for the light rays that originate from a given object.

Source

A converging lens (one that is thicker in the middle than at the edges) or a concave mirror is also capable of producing a virtual image if the object is within the focal length. Such an image will be magnified.

Source

A diverging lens (one that is thicker at the edges than the middle) or a convex mirror forms a virtual image. Such an image is reduced in size when compared to the original object.

Source

Because the rays never really converge, a virtual image cannot be projected onto a screen. In contrast, a real image can be projected on the screen as it is formed by rays that converge on a real location.

Source

In diagrams of optical systems, virtual rays are conventionally represented by dotted lines.

Source

a virtual image is found by tracing real rays that emerge from an optical device (lens, mirror, or some combination) backward to perceived or apparent origins of ray divergences.

Source

A real image is the collection of focus points actually made by converging rays, while a virtual image is the collection of focus points made by extensions of diverging rays.

Source

In optics, an image is defined as the collection of focus points of light rays coming from an object.

Source

The eyepiece is placed near the focal point of the objective to magnify this image. The amount of magnification depends on the focal length of the eyepiece.

Source

The objective lens or mirror collects light and brings it to focus creating an image.

Source

Objectives can be a single lens or mirror, or combinations of several optical elements.

Source

In optical engineering, the objective is the optical element that gathers light from the object being observed and focuses the light rays to produce a real image.

Source

For example, in a telescope, the aperture stop is typically the edges of the objective lens or mirror (or of the mount that holds it). One then speaks of a telescope as having, for example, a 100-centimeter aperture.

Source

In some contexts, especially in photography and astronomy, aperture refers to the diameter of the aperture stop rather than the physical stop or the opening itself.

Source

A telescope's ability to resolve small detail is directly related to the diameter (or aperture) of its objective (the primary lens or mirror that collects and focuses the light), and its light gathering power is related to the area of the objective.

Source

There are telescope designs that do not present an inverted image such as the Galilean refractor and the Gregorian reflector. These are referred to as erecting telescopes.

Source

Most telescope designs produce an inverted image at the focal plane; these are referred to as inverting telescopes.

Source

This image may be recorded or viewed through an eyepiece, which acts like a magnifying glass. The eye then sees an inverted [DISPUTED] magnified virtual image of the object.

Source

The basic scheme is that the primary light-gathering element, the objective (the convex lens or concave mirror used to gather the incoming light), focuses that light from the distant object to a focal plane where it forms a real image.

Source

An optical telescope is a telescope that gathers and focuses light, mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to create a magnified image for direct view, or to make a photograph, or to collect data through electronic image sensors.

Source

Under ideal laboratory conditions, people can see infrared up to at least 1050 nm; children and young adults may perceive ultraviolet wavelengths down to about 310–313 nm.

Source

Various sources define visible light as narrowly as 420–680 nm to as broadly as 380–800 nm.

Source

It is exact because, by international agreement, a metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1⁄299792458 second.

Source

The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant important in many areas of physics. Its exact value is defined as 299792458 metres per second (approximately 300000 km/s, or 186000 mi/s)

The value of c can ... be found by using the relation c = fλ.

Near Infrared: 2.0 to 2.4: Wavelength (micrometres): K band: Most major optical telescopes and most dedicated infrared telescopes

Source

Many optical telescopes, such as those at Keck Observatory, operate effectively in the near infrared as well as at visible wavelengths.

Source

For this reason, the near infrared region of the spectrum is commonly incorporated as part of the "optical" spectrum, along with the near ultraviolet.

Source

Infrared radiation with wavelengths just longer than visible light, known as near-infrared, behaves in a very similar way to visible light, and can be detected using similar solid state devices ...

Source

Far infrared (FIR) is a region in the infrared spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Far infrared is often defined as any radiation with a wavelength of 15 micrometers (μm) to 1 mm

Source

There are no precisely defined boundaries between the bands of the electromagnetic spectrum; rather they fade into each other like the bands in a rainbow (which is the sub-spectrum of visible light).

Source

Ultraviolet (UV) is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelength from 10 nm (with a corresponding frequency of approximately 30 PHz) to 400 nm (750 THz), shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.

Source

Radio frequency (RF) is the oscillation rate of an alternating electric current or voltage or of a magnetic, electric or electromagnetic field or mechanical system in the frequency range from around 20 kHz to around 300 GHz.

Source

The wavelength of infrared light ranges from 0.75 to 300 micrometers. Infrared falls in between visible radiation, which ranges from 380 to 750 nanometers, and submillimeter waves.

Source

Infrared astronomy is the branch of astronomy and astrophysics that studies astronomical objects visible in infrared (IR) radiation.

Source

Infrared and optical astronomy are often practiced using the same telescopes, as the same mirrors or lenses are usually effective over a wavelength range that includes both visible and infrared light.

Source

Optical radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is subdivided into ultraviolet radiation (UV), the spectrum of light visible for man (VIS) and infrared radiation (IR). It ranges between wavelengths of 100 nm to 1 mm [DISPUTED]

Source

A reflecting telescope (also called a reflector) is a telescope that uses a single or a combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image.

Source

In the 20th century, many new types of telescopes were invented, including radio telescopes in the 1930s and infrared telescopes in the 1960s.

Source

The reflecting telescope, which uses mirrors to collect and focus light, was invented within a few decades of the first refracting telescope.

Source

An eyepiece, or ocular lens, is a type of lens that is attached to a variety of optical devices such as telescopes and microscopes. It is so named because it is usually the lens that is closest to the eye when someone looks through the device.

Source

All refracting telescopes use the same principles. The combination of an objective lens and some type of eyepiece is used to gather more light than the human eye is able to collect on its own, focus it, and present the viewer with a brighter, clearer, ...

The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element.

Source

Protons and neutrons are both nucleons, which may be bound together by the nuclear force to form atomic nuclei.

Source

A neutron contains two down quarks with charge −1⁄3 e and one up quark with charge +2⁄3 e.

Source

The finite size of the neutron and its magnetic moment both indicate that the neutron is a composite, rather than elementary, particle.

Source

The neutron is classified as a hadron, because it is a composite particle made of quarks. The neutron is also classified as a baryon, because it is composed of three valence quarks.

Source

The neutron has a magnetic moment, however, so the neutron is influenced by magnetic fields. The neutron's magnetic moment has a negative value, because its orientation is opposite to the neutron's spin.

Source

The neutron has no measurable electric charge. With its positive electric charge, the proton is directly influenced by electric fields, whereas the neutron is unaffected by electric fields.

Source

The neutron has a mean square radius of about 0.8×10−15 m, or 0.8 fm, and it is a spin-½ fermion.

Source

The free neutron has a mass of 939,565,413.3 eV/c2, or 1.674927471×10−27 kg, or 1.00866491588 u.

Source

Beta decay, in which neutrons decay to protons, or vice versa, is governed by the weak force, and it requires the emission or absorption of electrons and neutrinos, or their antiparticles.

Source

Neutrons or protons bound in a nucleus can be stable or unstable, however, depending on the nuclide.

Source

The free proton is stable.

Source

This radioactive decay, known as beta decay, is possible because the mass of the neutron is slightly greater than the proton.

Source

A free neutron is unstable, decaying to a proton, electron and antineutrino with a mean lifetime of just under 15 minutes (881.5±1.5 s).

Source

Since protons and neutrons behave similarly within the nucleus, and each has a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit, they are both referred to as nucleons.

Source

Protons and neutrons constitute the nuclei of atoms.

Source

The neutron is a subatomic particle, symbol n or n0, with no electric charge and a mass slightly greater than that of a proton.

Source

The remainder of a proton's mass is due to quantum chromodynamics binding energy, which includes the kinetic energy of the quarks and the energy of the gluon fields that bind the quarks together.

Source

The rest masses of quarks contribute only about 1% of a proton's mass.

Source

Protons are composite particles composed of three valence quarks: two up quarks of charge + 2/3e and one down quark of charge –1/3e.

Source

Although protons were originally considered fundamental or elementary particles, in the modern Standard Model of particle physics, protons are classified as hadrons, like neutrons, the other nucleon.

Source

The number of protons in the nucleus is the defining property of an element, and is referred to as the atomic number (represented by the symbol Z). Since each element has a unique number of protons, each element has its own unique atomic number.

Source

One or more protons are present in the nucleus of every atom; they are a necessary part of the nucleus.

Source

Protons and neutrons, each with masses of approximately one atomic mass unit, are collectively referred to as "nucleons" (particles present in atomic nuclei).

Source

A modern perspective has a proton composed of the valence quarks (up, up, down), the gluons, and transitory pairs of sea quarks.

Source

The two up quarks and one down quark of a proton are held together by the strong force, mediated by gluons.

Source

A proton is a subatomic particle, symbol p or p+, with a positive electric charge of +1e elementary charge and a mass slightly less than that of a neutron.

Source

The quarks that determine the quantum numbers of hadrons are called valence quarks; apart from these, any hadron may contain an indefinite number of virtual "sea" quarks, antiquarks, and gluons, which do not influence its quantum numbers.

Source

Hadrons contain, along with the valence quarks that contribute to their quantum numbers, virtual quark–antiquark pairs known as sea quarks.

Source

Elementary fermions are grouped into three generations, each comprising two leptons and two quarks.

Source

Elementary fermions are grouped into three generations, each comprising two leptons and two quarks. The first generation includes up and down quarks, the second strange and charm quarks, and the third bottom and top quarks.

Source

Antiparticles of quarks are called antiquarks, and are denoted by a bar over the symbol for the corresponding quark, such as ū for an up antiquark.

Source

The Standard Model is the theoretical framework describing all the currently known elementary particles. This model contains six flavors of quarks (q), named up (u), down (d), strange (s), charm (c), bottom (b), and top (t).

Source

For every quark flavor there is a corresponding type of antiparticle, known as an antiquark, that differs from the quark only in that some of its properties (such as the electric charge) have equal magnitude but opposite sign.

Source

Because of this, up and down quarks are generally stable and the most common in the universe, whereas strange, charm, bottom, and top quarks can only be produced in high energy collisions (such as those involving cosmic rays and in particle accelerators).

Source

The heavier quarks rapidly change into up and down quarks through a process of particle decay: the transformation from a higher mass state to a lower mass state.

Source

Up and down quarks have the lowest masses of all quarks.

Source

There are six types, known as flavors, of quarks: up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top.

Quarks ... are the only known particles whose electric charges are not integer multiples of the elementary charge.

Source

Quarks ... are the only elementary particles in the Standard Model of particle physics to experience all four fundamental interactions, also known as fundamental forces (electromagnetism, gravitation, strong interaction, and weak interaction).

Source

Quarks have various intrinsic properties, including electric charge, mass, color charge, and spin.

Source

Due to a phenomenon known as color confinement, quarks are never found in isolation; they can be found only within hadrons, which include baryons (such as protons and neutrons) and mesons, or in quark–gluon plasmas.

Source

Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei.

Source

A quark is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter.

Source

The resulting attraction between different quarks causes the formation of composite particles known as hadrons

Source

Unlike leptons, quarks possess color charge, which causes them to engage in the strong interaction.

Source

Both of these decays imply that color is no longer a property of the byproducts.

Source

Uncharged mesons may decay to photons.

Source

Charged mesons decay (sometimes through mediating particles) to form electrons and neutrinos.

Source

All mesons are unstable, with the longest-lived lasting for only a few hundredths of a microsecond.

Source

In particle physics, mesons are hadronic subatomic particles composed of one quark and one antiquark, bound together by strong interactions.

Source

Four closely related Δ baryons exist: Δ++ (constituent quarks: uuu), Δ+ (uud), Δ0 (udd), and Δ− (ddd), which respectively carry an electric charge of +2 e, +1 e, 0 e, and −1 e.

The Δ baryons have ... a spin of 3⁄2 ...

Source

In particle physics, a hadron ... is a subatomic composite particle made of two or more quarks ...

Source

Exotic baryons containing five quarks (known as pentaquarks) have also been discovered and studied.

Source

Since baryons are made of three quarks [DISPUTED], their spin vectors can add to make a vector of length S = 3/2, which has four spin projections (Sz = +3/2, Sz = +1/2, Sz = −1/2, and Sz = −3/2), or a vector of length S = 1/2 with two spin projections ...

Source

If two quarks have unaligned spins, the spin vectors add up to make a vector of length S = 0 and has only one spin projection (Sz = 0), etc.

Source

Two quarks can have their spins aligned, in which case the two spin vectors add to make a vector of length S = 1 and three spin projections (Sz = +1, Sz = 0, and Sz = −1).

Source

Because spin projections vary in increments of 1 (that is 1 ħ), a single quark has a spin vector of length 1/2, and has two spin projections (Sz = +1/2 and Sz = −1/2).

Source

Quarks are fermionic particles of spin 1/2 (S = 1/2).

Source

Protons are spin-1/2 fermions and are composed of three valence quarks, making them baryons (a sub-type of hadrons).

Source

The neutron ... is a spin-½ fermion.

Source

The most familiar baryons are protons and neutrons, both of which contain three quarks, and for this reason these particles are sometimes described as triquarks.

Source

They are also classified as fermions, i.e., they have half-integer spin.

Source

Baryons belong to the hadron family of particles, which are the quark-based particles.

Source

In particle physics, a baryon is a type of composite subatomic particle which contains an odd number of valence quarks (at least 3).

Source

According to the spin-statistics theorem in any reasonable relativistic quantum field theory, particles with integer spin are bosons, while particles with half-integer spin are fermions.

Source

Some fermions are elementary particles, such as the electrons, and some are composite particles, such as the protons.

Source

Fermions differ from bosons, which obey Bose–Einstein statistics.

Source

Fermions include all quarks and leptons, as well as all composite particles made of an odd number of these, such as all baryons and many atoms and nuclei.

Source

In particle physics, a fermion is a particle that follows Fermi–Dirac statistics and generally has half odd integer spin 1/2, 3/2 etc. These particles obey the Pauli exclusion principle.

Source

The Pauli exclusion principle is the quantum mechanical principle which states that two or more identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) cannot occupy the same quantum state within a quantum system simultaneously.

Source

sz is the spin projection quantum number along the z-axis.

Source

there are only two possible values for a spin-1/2 particle: sz = +1/2 and sz = -1/2. These correspond to quantum states in which the spin component is pointing in the +z or −z directions respectively, and are often referred to as "spin up" and "spin down"

Source

Furthermore, it means that a lepton can have only two possible spin states, namely up or down.

Source

Leptons are spin 1/2 particles. The spin-statistics theorem thus implies that they are fermions and thus that they are subject to the Pauli exclusion principle: No two leptons of the same species can be in the same state at the same time.

Source

The positron is symbolized by e+ because it has the same properties as the electron but with a positive rather than negative charge.

Source

As the symbol e is used for the elementary charge, the electron is commonly symbolized by e−, where the minus sign indicates the negative charge.

Source

Within the limits of experimental accuracy, the electron charge is identical to the charge of a proton, but with the opposite sign.

Source

Electrons have an electric charge of −1.602176634×10−19 coulombs, which is used as a standard unit of charge for subatomic particles, and is also called the elementary charge.

Source

The invariant mass of an electron is approximately 9.109×10−31 kilograms, or 5.489×10−4 atomic mass units. On the basis of Einstein's principle of mass–energy equivalence, this mass corresponds to a rest energy of 0.511 MeV.

Source

In theory, a particle and its anti-particle (for example, a proton and an antiproton) have the same mass, but opposite electric charge and other differences in quantum numbers. For example, a proton has positive charge while an antiproton has negative ...

Source

In modern physics, antimatter is defined as matter which is composed of the antiparticles (or "partners") of the corresponding particles of 'ordinary' matter.

Source

While the electron has a negative electric charge, the positron has a positive electric charge, and is produced naturally in certain types of radioactive decay. The opposite is also true: the antiparticle of the positron is the electron.

Source

For example, the antiparticle of the electron is the antielectron (which is often referred to as positron).

Source

In particle physics, every type of particle is associated with [an] antiparticle with the same mass but with opposite physical charges (such as electric charge).

Source

According to certain theories, neutrinos may be their own antiparticle. It is not currently known whether this is the case.

Source

For every lepton flavor, there is a corresponding type of antiparticle, known as an antilepton, that differs from the lepton only in that some of its properties have equal magnitude but opposite sign.

Source

electromagnetism ... is proportional to charge, and is thus zero for the electrically neutral neutrinos.

Unlike quarks, however, leptons are not subject to the strong interaction, but they are subject to the other three fundamental interactions: gravitation, the weak interaction, and to electromagnetism ...

Source

Leptons have various intrinsic properties, including electric charge, spin, and mass.

Source

a helium atom in the ground state has spin 0 and behaves like a boson, even though the quarks and electrons which make it up are all fermions.

Source

In quantum mechanics and particle physics, spin is an intrinsic form of angular momentum carried by elementary particles, composite particles (hadrons), and atomic nuclei.

Source

The system is unstable: the two particles annihilate each other to predominantly produce two or three gamma-rays, depending on the relative spin states.

Source

Thus electrons are stable and the most common charged lepton in the universe, whereas muons and taus can only be produced in high energy collisions (such as those involving cosmic rays and those carried out in particle accelerators).

Source

The heavier muons and taus will rapidly change into electrons and neutrinos through a process of particle decay: the transformation from a higher mass state to a lower mass state.
