| neutrinonoun | An elementary particle that is classified as a lepton, and has an extremely small but nonzero mass and no electric charge. It interacts with the surroundings only via the weak force or gravitation, making it very difficult to detect. |

| muon neutrinonoun | A leptonic elementary particle having about half the mass of an electron and no charge. |
| muoniumnoun | (physics, chemistry) An exotic atom formed when a positively charged muon (an anti-muon) and an electron are bound by their mutual electrical attraction; chemically equivalent to a light, short-lived isotope of hydrogen. |
| muononiumnoun | (physics) an exotic atom formed when an antimuon and a muon are bound by their mutual electrical attraction |

| tauonnoun | An unstable elementary particle which is a type of lepton, having a mass almost twice that of a proton, a negative charge, and a spin of ½; it decays into hadrons (usually pions) or other leptons, and neutrinos. |
| smuonnoun | (physics) A hypothetical boson superpartner of a muon whose existence is implied by supersymmetry |
| mesonnoun | (now specifically, particle physics) An elementary particle that is composed of a quark and an antiquark, such as a kaon or pion. (Mesons composed of rarer quarks are much heavier.) |

| antimuoniumnoun | (particle physics) The antimatter form of muonium |
| mesoniumnoun | (physics) Any exotic atom formed from a meson and an electron |
| leptonnoun | (particle physics) An elementary particle that has a spin of 1/2 (i.e., is a fermion) and does not interact via the strong nuclear force; examples include the electron, the muon, the neutrino and the tauon. |
