negative muon n 1: an elementary particle with a negative charge and a half- life of 2 microsecond; decays to electron and neutrino and antineutrino [syn: {muon}, {negative muon}, {mu-meson}]
lepton \lepton\ n. (Physics) an elementary particle that participates in weak interactions but does not participate in the strong interaction; it has a baryon number of 0. Some known leptons are the {electron}, the {negative muon}, the {tau-minus particle}, and the neutrinos associated with each of these particles. [WordNet 1.5 +PJC]
