WIMPS. The more massive members of each lepton pair are the electrically charged electron (the outer constituent of atoms) and two other particles that resemble electrons in all measurable ways except that they are heavier, and are unstable in today's modern universe.

ECONOMIST: Particle physics makes sense, but it assumes too much

Theory predicts that when cosmic rays (fast particles coming from outer space) collide with air molecules in the upper atmosphere, they should yield twice as many muon neutrinos as electron neutrinos.
