characteristics

In neutrino
A tau-neutrino and tau-antineutrino are associated with this third charged lepton as well. In 2000 physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory reported the first experimental evidence for the existence of the tau-neutrino.

In subatomic particle: Charged leptons (electron, muon, tau)
…electron and the muon, the tau has its associated neutrino. The tau can decay into a muon, plus a tau-neutrino and a muon-antineutrino; or it can decay directly into an electron, plus a tau-neutrino and an electron-antineutrino. Because the tau is heavy, it can also decay into particles containing quarks.…
