0 any very small piece of matter that is influenced by the weak force. electrons, muons, and neutrinos are all leptons.

These describe one "generation" of leptons and quarks, and there are three generations, so there are three copies of each field.
There would be three kinds of leptoquarks made of the leptons and quarks of each generation.
This was at a time when 4 leptons had been discovered but only 3 quarks proposed.
All the particles that make up ordinary matter (leptons and quarks) are elementary fermions, while all the force carriers are elementary bosons.
Although all present data is consistent with three generations of leptons, some particle physicists are searching for a fourth generation.
It consisted of eleven values: 1 lepton, 5, 10, 25 and 50 lepta, 1 drachma and 2, 3, 5, 10 and 25 drachmae.
They could detect and distinguish between leptons, hadrons and photons.
Electrons (the other major component of the atom) are leptons.
