Here is a summary of the various particles used in EthnoPhysics that have lepton numbers and baryon numbers that are all zero.

The Mesonic Charge

Here is a particle composed from eight baryonic quarks arranged for phase symmety. The mesonic charge is defined by

\equiv \left\{ \mathcal{S}_{\mdsmblkcircle} \, , \; \mathcal{S}_{\mdsmwhtcircle} \rule{0px}{12px} \right\} \; \; \; \text{\sf{where}}

\mathcal{S}_{\mdsmblkcircle} \! \left( \rule{0px}{10 px} \right.\left. \rule{0px}{10 px} \right) \equiv \left\{ \, \overline{\mathsf{b}}_{\mdsmblkcircle}, \, \mathsf{t}_{\mdsmblkcircle}, \,  \overline{\mathsf{s}}_{\mdsmblkcircle}, \, \mathsf{c}_{\mdsmblkcircle} \rule{0px}{14px} \right\}

\mathcal{S}_{\mdsmwhtcircle} \! \left( \rule{0px}{10 px} \right.\left. \rule{0px}{10 px} \right) \equiv \left\{ \, \overline{\mathsf{b}}_{\mdsmwhtcircle}, \, \mathsf{t}_{\mdsmwhtcircle}, \,  \overline{\mathsf{s}}_{\mdsmwhtcircle}, \, \mathsf{c}_{\mdsmwhtcircle} \rule{0px}{14px} \right\}

This particle does not contain any dynamic or chemical quarks. So all spatial radii are zero and is a pointy particle. Having no rotating quarks also means that the total angular momentum quantum-number is  \textsl{\textsf{J}} \hspace{0.5pt} \raisebox{1px}{(} ) \normalsize =  0 .

The mesonic-charge is formed exclusively from baryonic quarks. But its baryon number is  B \raisebox{1px}{(} ) \normalsize \raisebox{0px}{= 0} because the baryonic character of the top and bottom-quarks is cancelled by the charmed and strange-quarks.

The charge quantum number is \scalebox{1.1}{\it{q}} \raisebox{1px}{(}\scalebox{1.2}{)}  =  -1 . And not having any leptonic quarks means that the lepton number is  L \raisebox{1px}{(} ) \normalsize = 0 . So satisfies the definition for being a meson, it is not especially leptonic or baryonic. Therefore if it absorbs a definitely leptonic particle like a neutrino, then the resulting particle is leptonic. Indeed establishes the core of all charged leptons.

The conjugate twin of is written as . Please notice that this is a different particle than the baryonic charge which is marked by +.
