how were these things measured+discovered? are any of these theoretical particles? can't seem to find much info about how and where the stats on these particles were measured ANYWHERE! arghh not even googles working

All leptons have been found experimentally (even the anti-tau neutrino I think..?)

Particle discoveries which got nobel prize are sverals: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_in_Physics (tau lepton, neutrino, muon neutrino, positron)

The discovery of electron:

The discovery of positron:

Muon:

I found EVERYTHING by using google ;-)

thanks a lot there just interested in learning stuff other people don't know heh for school
