This particle was initially detected as missing energy in electron-positron annihilation experiments conducted using the SPEAR detector.
This particle was initially detected as missing energy in electron-positron annihilation experiments conducted using the SPEAR detector. Its associated neutrino was detected through (*) charmed meson decay by the DONUT experiment, and it's the only particle of its kind that can decay into hadrons.  For 10 points— identify this particle which provides the third generation of leptons after the electron and the muon.
