Richard Feynmann was the one who used "X-on" in his
book "Feynmann Lectures on Physics". Don't know
why he used it. Can anyone who own the book
check page 12.12, 12.13 if indeed such paragraphs
exist? Anyway, according to La Violette, Feynman
was comparing "the electric potential field around
an electron to the concentration profile produced by
neutrons diffusing out of the core of a nuclear
reactor. They portrayed an electron as a tiny nuclear
reactor whose core radiates a flux of subquantum
particles called "little X-ons"; the concentration
of these outwardly diffusing particles, they noted,
would drop off inversely with radial distance, just
like the electric potential field around an electron"
