A lepton is a tiny fundamental particle that doesn't experience the strong force holding atomic nuclei together; the most familiar example is the electron, which helps form atoms, while other leptons like neutrinos barely interact with anything and are nearly impossible to detect. Leptons matter because they're building blocks of ordinary matter and help physicists understand the basic structure of the universe.

レプトン(lepton)は、素粒子のグループの一つであり、クォークとともに物質の基本的な構成要素である。軽粒子とも呼ばれる。 レプトンという語は、「軽い」を意味する古代ギリシア語: λεπτός (leptos) と粒子を意味する接尾語"-on"から、1948年にによって作られた。
