(Physics / General Physics) Physics a type of neutrino associated with tau particles

tau neutrino (tou, tô)

A type of neutrino associated with the tau particle, often created in particle interactions involving tau particles (such as the decay of these particles). The tau neutrino has a mass of zero or near zero, and has no electric charge. See more at neutrino. See Table at subatomic particle.
