_ParticleZooClass¶

class plasmapy.particles.special_particles._ParticleZooClass¶

Bases: object

Create an object with taxonomy information for special particles.

The _taxonomy_dict attribute contains the name of each classification (e.g., 'lepton', 'baryon', 'matter', etc.) as the keys and a set of particle symbol strings of the particles belonging to that classification.

The attributes of this class provide sets of strings representing particles in the corresponding category.

Examples

>>> ParticleZoo = _ParticleZooClass()
>>> 'e-' in ParticleZoo.leptons
True
>>> 'nu_e' in ParticleZoo.antineutrinos
False
>>> 'mu+' in ParticleZoo.antiparticles
True
