Tau (particle) Tau (particle) The tau (τ), also called the tau lepton, tau particle, or tauon, is an elementary particle similar to the electron, with negative electric charge and a spin of. Together with the electron, the muon, and the three neutrinos, it is a lepton. Like all elementary particles with half-integer spin, the tau has a corresponding antiparticle of opposite charge but equal mass and spin, which in the tau's case is the antitau (also called the "positive tau"). Tau particles are denoted by and the antitau by . Tau leptons have a lifetime of and a mass of (compared to
Finn (given name) Finn (given name) Finn is generally regarded as a masculine given name. The name has several origins. In some cases it is derived from the Old Norse personal name and byname "Finnr", meaning "Lapp" or "Finn". In some cases the Old Norse name was a short form of other names composed with this element. In other cases, the name "Finn" is derived from Irish, meaning "white" or "fair". In the later case, the name is an earlier Irish variant of "Fionn". It is also occasionally a female given name, although this is less common. People with the given name include:
