Tau Structure

Third Generation Lepton | Mass: 1.777 GeV/c² | Spin: 1/2 | Charge: -1

CPP Tau Model: Double-Caged Electron

The Heaviest Lepton

The tau is the heaviest charged lepton at 1.777 GeV - about 3,480× the electron mass. In CPP, this massive energy comes from nested cage structures: a tetrahedral cage surrounded by an icosahedral cage, totaling 16 eDP pairs. The extensive PSR chaining between these pairs generates the tau's large mass. With a lifetime of only 2.9×10⁻¹³ s, it decays rapidly into lighter particles: τ⁻ → e⁻ + ν̄e + ντ or τ⁻ → μ⁻ + ν̄μ + ντ or hadrons.
