Fermion

(Standard Model) Any elementary or composite particle that has half-integer spin and thus obeys Fermi–Dirac statistics and the Pauli exclusion principle (equivalently, a particle for which the wavefunction of any system of identical such particles changes sign whenever two are swapped); a baryon, a lepton or a quark; (slightly more loosely) any such particle or any composite particle composed of fermions.

Examples :

"According to the spin–statistics theorem, the wavefunction of a system of identical fermions (particles of half-integer spin) is antisymmetric under the operation of swapping any two particles."

Gemäß dem Spin-Statistik-Theorem ist die Wellenfunktion eines Systems identischer Fermionen (Teilchen mit halbzahligem Spin) antisymmetrisch unter der Operation des Austauschs von zwei beliebigen Teilchen.
