Summary

A global quantum number assigned to leptons. Individual flavor numbers are violated by neutrino mixing; total lepton number is an accidental perturbative symmetry of the renormalizable Standard Model but participates in the nonperturbative B+LB+L anomaly and may be violated by Majorana masses or beyond-Standard-Model interactions.

LeptonLepton number

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Leptons carry lepton-number assignments in the Standard Model description, subject to neutrino mixing and possible beyond-model violation.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

Quantum numberLepton number

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Lepton numbers label leptonic states; flavor lepton numbers are violated by neutrino mixing and total lepton number is not established as exact.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
