What are the three particles in the lepton family?

They aren't 3 they are in fact 12 if you count anti matter as a separate particle from matter. Electron, muon, tau, electron neutrino, muon neutrino and tau neutrino. The same apply to anti matter positron, anti muon, anti tau, postrin neutrino, anti muon neutrino, and anti tau neutrino.


What is the muon decay equation and how does it describe the process of muon decay?

The muon decay equation is: - e- e . This equation describes the process of muon decay, where a muon (-) transforms into an electron (e-), an electron neutrino (e), and a muon neutrino (). This decay process occurs due to the weak nuclear force, which causes the muon to change into lighter particles.


What are the particles produced when a positive pion decays?

When a positive pion decays, it produces a muon and a neutrino.


What is the subatomic particle with a no electrical charge?

I think you might be referring to the Neutrinos in the Lepton section of the Subatomic Particle Table, each non Neutrino in the Lepton section has a Neutrino equivalent, for example an Electron and a Electron Neutrino, or the Muon and the Muon Neutrino. Unless you were referring to the Gauge Bosons which are forces used to connect Quarks and Leptons together, all the forces have a 0 charge. This should answer the Question.


How was the Solar neutrino problem solved?

The problem was that the Sun should output a lot more electron neutrinos then were measured. This meant that the model describing the interior of the Sun would be wrong, but it was working very well in predicting other things. It was finally solved when something called neutrino oscillation was discovered. It turned out that (this might be a bit technical) the interaction state of a neutrino was not equal to its mass or propagation state. In short, this meant that electron neutrino's could become muon or tau neutrino's after a while (and change back again after that). After this people began looking for muon and tau neutrinos coming from the Sun and together with the electron neutrino number they added up to the amount the Solar model predicted. The problem was thus solved; the Sun DOES output more electron neutrino's but some of these change into muon or tau neutrinos before they reach the Earth, and since we were initially only looking for electron neutrinos we missed some.

What are examples of subatomic particle?

Examples of subatomic particles include electrons, protons, and neutrons. Electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge, and neutrons have no charge. These particles are the building blocks of atoms.

Are laptons electrons?

I presume you mean lepton instead of lapton ;) In which case leptons are not electrons, but electrons are leptons. Leptons are a group of matter particles which do not feel the strong nuclear force and are believed to be elementary (i.e. they do not consist of smaller particles). They are: -Electron -Muon -Tau(on) -Electron neutrino -Muon neutrino -Tau neutrino and their associated anti particles (such as the anti-electron, commonly known as the positron).


When was Tau neutrino created?

Tau neutrino was created in 2000.
