          Process of free neutron decomposition is presented in such a way that final decomposition products emerge as a result of serial structural changes of the initial particles.

          Planck's particles  and  [1, 2] have no mass. Masses of d-, s-, b- quarks appear as positive defect of the mass Dm > 0 in the process of mutual repulsion of likely charged  and particles [2]. In this case, P1- particle is considered as neutrino n, and particle is designated as -squark. Accordingly,  is anti-neutrino , and - is anti-squark.

Structure of quarks is the following:

- quark (when the distance between and –squark is equal to m [2]);
neutrino impulse,
neutrino spin (-), determining spin of d-quark;
-quark (under m);
-quark (under m).
-, -, - anti-quarks (correspondingly, under the same l values between  and - anti-squark with those existing between and - squark in d-, s-, b- quarks).
-, -, - quarks (depending on mutual distances l between , - and - antisquarks).
-, -, - anti-quarks.

   

          Structure of neutron n, proton p and electron-positron pair e -, e+ [2]:

          Neutron decomposition is not a spontaneous process. Free neutron is not resistant to the action of particles fluctuating in vacuum. Neutron decomposes with the participation of vacuum pairs e -, e+ and n, , which fluctuations occur inside the neutron.

1)

          Due to interaction with quarks of neutron, e - and e+ emit, accordingly, n and , generating vector bosons Wand W+. Wboson, having absorbed vacuum neutrino, turns into electron. W+  boson, after generation of u-quark in it, decomposes into d-anti-quark and u-quark. d-anti-quark, after amalgamation with one of neutron d-quarks, forms neutral pion. u-quark, joining to du-quarks, remained from neutron, forms proton.

          The large mass of Wand W+  bosons appear as a result of the space internal reorganization of particles, remained from e - and e+ after n and  emitting by them. Boson mass appears as positive defect of the mass Dm > 0 under approach of likely charged interacting particles to each other (first of all, probably, of -squarks in W  boson and -anti-squarks in W+  boson). Neutral pion is generated by dd -quarks, which mass taken separately in free state is equal to md » 7,5 MeV. Mass p° is equal to mp » 134,963 MeV. In free dd-quarks, distance between n and -squark (as well as between and -anti-squark) makes l » 7,49x10-16 m. Simple calculation using Coulomb law [2] shows that in p° the distance l is 10 times less  – l » 8,31 x 10-17 m. Just at this distance mass of each quark in p° is equal to mp /2. Therefore, mass p° also emerges, evidently, as defect of the mass Dm > 0 under approaching of likely charged particles to each  other (interaction of quark masses is not taken into account).

          Let’s consider interaction of n and W- boson in neutron decomposition. Since week interactions become apparent at the distances l < 10-18 m, this may influence the interaction of n and W- boson. Neutrino in electron moves along circular orbit with radius r » 6,57 x 10-14 m [2]. Position of n, moving in the electron, can be determined accurate to the electron dimensions, i.e. Dx = 2r » 13,14 x 10-14 m. Then, indetermination of the impulse

Hence, indetermination of energy DE in the neutrino energy En is equal to  . The value r¢»6,32 x 10-14 m corresponds to the value (maximal kinetic energy of electron Emax in b-decomposition of neutron). At the distance r¢ neutrino is initially combined with -squark transferring energy and impulse to W- boson. Values r¢ for some of radioactive nuclei are given in Table.

          After neutrino emission by electron, kinetic energy Ew of W- boson formed is equal to

                             Ew = En + Ev ,

where En » 1,22 x 1022 MeV – average statistic value of neutrino energy, Ev – kinetic energy of vacuum electron, appeared inside neutron as a result of fluctuation of the pair e-, e+; Ev is variable. Energy of vacuum neutrino E¢n interacting with W-  boson, is equal to

                             E¢n  = En + DE ,

where En » 1,22 x 1022 MeV , DE = const = 0,782 MeV ( DE is the quantity of deflection from average statistic value of neutrino energy E n ).

          Impulses of longitudinally polarized n and W- boson are directed towards each other. Then, energy and direction of the impulse vector of b-decomposition electrons formed under interaction of n and W- boson are determined by correlation of the values Ev (energy of vacuum electrons) and DE (value of indetermination in the energy E¢n of neutrino).

          Under 0 £ Ev £ DE we obtain that under Ev = 0 energy of the electron of  b-decomposition is equal to Eb=-Ev= 0,782 MeV. Under Ev = DE, Eb = DE - Ev = 0.

          Under DE £ Ev £ 2DE we obtain that under Ev = DE  Eb = Ev - DE = 0. Under Ev = 2DE  Eb = Ev - DE = DE.

          In accordance with experimental data [3], number of electrons of free neutron b-decomposition, emitted in the direction opposite to neutron spin is 20% higher than electron number emitted along spin direction. It means (see interaction of n and W- boson in the neutron decomposition process described above), that in 40% of cases the value Ev > DE – electrons move along neutron spin direction. In 60% of cases Ev < DE , namely, electrons move in the direction opposite to neutron spin. At that, electrons turn by 180°. To preserve the angular moment, it is necessary to assume that e- turn by 180° is accompanied by emission of photon of circular polarization. Process of neutron decomposition in this case looks like as follows:

 

2)   

The above mentioned is presented in the Figs. 1 and 2.

          Why the value DE in free neutron decomposition is equal just to 0,782 MeV? Probably, at such short distances the vacuum neutrino responds to W- boson (by value of its energy Ew) as to its antiparticle - (with which n is absorbed by vacuum after interaction). As a result, the component of neutrino wave packet with the energy  E¢n  = En + DE participates in the interaction with W- boson. In this case value DE = 0,782 MeV is the average value of energy Ev of vacuum electrons.

          Similarly, we can record proton decomposition process:
