==== Leptons ====
[[Lepton]]s do not interact via the [[strong interaction]]. Their respective [[antiparticle]]s are the [[antilepton]]s, which are identical, except that they carry the opposite electric charge and lepton number. The antiparticle of an [[electron]] is an antielectron, which is almost always called a "[[positron]]" for historical reasons. There are six leptons in total; the three charged leptons are called "electron-like leptons", while the neutral leptons are called "[[neutrino]]s". Neutrinos are known to [[neutrino oscillation|oscillate]], so that neutrinos of definite [[flavour (particle physics)|flavor]] do not have definite mass: instead, they exist in a superposition of mass [[eigenstate]]s. The hypothetical heavy right-handed neutrino, called a "[[sterile neutrino]]", has been omitted.
