the electron, neutrino and positron as well?
Hope I'm asking this at the right place, and that my spelling was ok!
Thanks for any replies!

Yes, it does.
 
It applies to anything that's currently described using quantum field theory - among which, everything in the Standard Model.
 
Great, thanks for the speedy reply guys!

yes, particledualism appliestoevery single thing present in the universe, to electrons that's why electron microscopes are possible, neutrinos, and even to you while running.
the general expression for the wavelenght of particle representingits wave charecter is
wavelenght= h/mv
where h is plank's constant, m is the mass of the object,v is its velocity
 
de broglie won a nobel prize for this...
 

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
