Anyone know where to find a reference for the radius of a Muon and a Tau?

To not confuse with neuronal tau (in chromosom, of a few nm !)

Close to 10-14m, like a small nucleus ?
There is a way : 10^80 muon or tau were in the volume of the universe at the
time of the electroweak breaking of symmetry
So 10^-11 sec after the big bang, the size of the universe was about 10^14
cm or 10^(-4) light years
Remain to divide and convert this in fermi.
Now is it correct ?
There is no reason that at this early epoq their size was different that
now. The scale factor changed, for sure.

Neither of these have a measurable charge radius. They are, like the
electron, "point-like" as far as we can tell.

Ignore this delusional misinformation from PD.  I already proved that
the particles do have a finite radius in the other thread with Bilge.
Look up Coulomb's law.

Hi Todd,

As PD mentions, they don't have a "charge" radius that is inconsistent
with point-like.  I suppose you mean something like their "spread" due
to relativistic and quantum "vacuum" effects?  If so, probably their
rationalized compton wavelength could be used as an effective radius.

Actually no. The Compton wavelength is several orders of magnitude too
large. What I am looking at is the harmonic "cut-off" frequency for the
particle. The Compton wavelength is a wave packet, constructed of a
superposition of higher and lower frequency waves. It is the "rest" or
low-energy limit. At the high-energy end of the specturm, there is a
limiting cut-off, beyond which there is no wave propagation permitted. That
high-end cut-off defines a boundary condition on the size of the
"point-like" electron. It's < .02 fm, but it is not zero.

Think of it similar to a black hole, where from our perspective it shrinks
to nothing, but in fact, it has a finite radius at the event horizon. A
paticle too has a horizon, beyond which nothing can propagate. Alson it's
analogous to the cut-off of a waveguide.

OK, not an effective low energy radius then.  HEP as not been able to
measure the charge radius of electrons, etc.  Yet... if there is one.
As they go higher and higher in energy, it just keeps looking more
point-like.  I think they are at around 10^-19 meters now which is way
below .02 fm.  Still point-like and no *internal* structure of any kind
so far.  If they are close to any kind of "radius" now, then LHC might
be able to show up one.  But maybe not since it is a hadron collider.
May have to wait until they built a larger e+e- linear collider which I
believe the HEP folks are going to try to do.  But I believe this would
all be contingent on extra large dimensions and if they see quantum
black holes at LHC.  IOW, the GUT scale is much lower in the TeV range.
If they don't, then a possible charge radius for electrons, etc. could
be very very small.   Even as small as the Planck length.

This is the most idiotic scientific reasoning I've ever seen, akin to
the biblical geocentrist arguments made up in order to fit the
observations, or the wild inductions used to "prove" that a geometric
continuum exists.  You do not know what "size" in "particle size"
means.  It's not an upper energy cutoff; it's the one-time field's
limit from its one-time mass-energy.  Electrons have a minimum mass by
their background energy; their size /then/ is their standard size, two
classic electron radii wide.  They are /never/ points, only hollow
balls of different sizes.  Transmutations happen when different
particles of different sizes become the same size and tostick.

Hey!  I am just the messenger here.  If you can find any data from
experiments on electron, muon, or tau charge radius, pass them onto us
here.  Note the keyword *internal* that you snipped out.  For me,
leptons do have an *external* structure due to relativistic and quantum
"vacuum" effects.

It looks like either a perspective illusion or a composite particle
region.
Y.Porat - 27 Nov 2005 09:41 GMT
just lets try very simple logic;

if we agree that a combination of two particles is longish
and another condition - the bond is constant and fixed

what is more reasonable to think
that we have here two 'balls' side by side?
so what is the point of connection is it one point?
if yes why rather that point and not another one.

or may be two  longish shapes? that has 'poles' and the connection is
only
at    the poles?

moreover:
how about the possibility that even that 'basic particle' is actually
not 'basic but composed of sub particles ??

so if a conglomerating of  sub- particles than again we are in the
'direction of'
the longish shape ??!!
have you hear ed about the 'string theory'?

have you hear ed about the 'chain of orbitals' theory??
have you seen a protein molecule? (not to mention the Genome)

have you seen the shape of a lightening  (that might as well be  a
shape of
a chain of orbitals  or may be based on it  ?)
if not
it is just material for new thinking.

There are no points.  "Points of connection" is a poor label for
"regions of connection".  Two balls of a given potential-length
constant mesh everywhere available between their inner and outer charge
domes.  In their motions, they trace out an ellipse or ellipsoid or
helicoid, but this isn't the shape of each sheer charge.  If two balls
are ever joined at a point, their potential is shorten out and there is
no further impulse or interaction other than what carries over from
their background.

If a particle/charge is squashen, so are time and space squashen.  In a
relativistic particle/charge, the shorten leading kilter represents a
cramming of parameters in other parameters; they aren't strictly
still-lifes because they move unevenly with respect to their
interactions.

Compositions come at different energies.  For instance, the electron
decays into a neutrino when it loses more mass than is possible with
electric fields.  But when it's not decaying, it doesn't have the
decay's shape.

A particle's mass ring comes in a loop, which can be clept a "string".
Its charge is nonnegotiable; fields and energies and their motions are
epifenomena of their charges.

that??

I already explained.  Particles are hollow balls.  Charges are sferes.
Masses are rings.  Elements are tesselating discreta.  I like the
cuboctahedron.

> please show us how do you make a sphere
> from 3 Quarks

AIP and others ran a story about finding calculations for the three
protonic shapes depending on how the quarks were moving.  There was a
ball, a peanut, and a hoop.  Anyway, anything round is just an average
over time and space.  A ball has three axes.  A sfere is made by
spinning a circle, a ball by spinning a coin.  With three quarks, two
of the same mass and one heavier, this should be easy.

-Aut
Y.Porat - 28 Nov 2005 13:11 GMT
so in a certain moment
it cant be a sphere right??!!

now all the rest suggestions are just speculations that no one can
prove right??

so may be try suggesting a longish shape
with no junglairings ??
(how about a 'chain of orbitals ??)

and there are other arguments for the longish shape!!

a light element like say Hydrogen
that is a Gas is really rotating
in all directions but the net  proton is a longish shape !!- 3 quarks
in a  (broken) line
and much more than that !!
yet please note a very important remark:
all those 3 quarks are rotating as a unit
*there is no mutual translation between them
it is not a porridge of particles that 'boils'!!
or else you can never get a stable structure of matter as we know it
leading from the micro to the macro.!
the same with heavier nuclei
it is not a 'boiling porridge'
any  nucleid is on its fixed place relative to the    other ones.
and if you dont mind
i have the exact 'map' of *all of them*
(unbelievable  eh ??  (:-) it will take time to be more than just
believable.
and may be i will not live to see that time ...

just more than time to start making some
switches in paradigmatic  concepts

might be         if you mean  that each sub particle is rotating or
whatever
movement  but there is no 'exchange of  relative locations' of the sub
particles.
and that is the main innovation to remember.

no idea what you are talking about.
