Leptoquark
LQEpicHypothetical: never detected, game threshold is fictional
Fact from the codex
Hypothetical: a particle that would turn a quark directly into a lepton. Grand unified theories predict it, since it would explain why quarks and leptons are ordered so similarly. Not detected so far.
Professor Quark says
“A leptoquark – half quark, half lepton, as if two particle families had married. Grand unified theories predict it; hints in B decays have not been confirmed so far. But hope springs eternal. Hypothetical.”
