Oh, I just hit 10K damage dealt.

Awesome!

"For reasons we do not fully understand, a consequence of the odd half-integer spin is that fermions obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle and therefore cannot co-exist in the same state at same location at the same time. "

But what location! Tell me internetz!

"The nucleus of an atom is a fermion or boson depending on whether the total number of its protons and neutrons is odd or even, respectively. Recently, physicists have discovered that this has caused some very strange behavior in certain atoms under unusual conditions, such as very cold helium. "
There's helium again!

Have you tried Helium before now?

Oh wait, we'd have to clear the dungeon. Nevermind my moment there.

Right the new clue is "The decay rate of the particle in this location. " So, it could potentially be a number then? like, we might have to calculate the decay rate of a proton, neutron, and electron in helium for the answer

I'm gonna add this stuff to the riddle info for this node, maybe there's a physicists out there?

the decay rate of a neutron inside an apple, clearly

OHHH!

YAPPA PIE

though the particle probably is a neutron, considering it fits two different interpretations of 'central fermion particle'

first, it's a fermionic particle found within the nucleus, not unlike a proton

second, its charge sits right square between electrons and protons as neutral, no charge biased either way

it sits in the central mass of the atom and sits center between the charges of its two fellow particles

continue sensei!

aaaaand that's all i can figure at this point

i'm a layman, unfortunately

*Claps* Hey, that's better than what I was coming up with! I like it! Added it to the post!
