Lepton number
In particle physics, the lepton number is the number of leptons minus the number of antileptons. In equation form, so all leptons have assigned a value of +1, antileptons −1, and non-leptonic particles 0. Lepton number is an additive quantum number, which means that its sum is preserved in interactions. Beside the leptonic number, leptonic family numbers are also defined: ⁕Le, the electronic number for the electron and the electron neutrino; ⁕Lμ, the muonic number for the muon and the muon neutrino; ⁕Lτ, the tauonic number for the tau and the tau neutrino; with the same assigning scheme as the leptonic number: +1 for particles of the corresponding family, −1 for the antiparticles, and 0 for leptons of other families or non-leptonic particles.
