Beta Decay of the Neutron and the First Law of Thermodynamics

Authors: Yu. E. Zevatskiy
Comments: 9 Pages.

The process of neutron beta decay was considered within the framework of a thermodynamic heterogeneous system model formed by gas consisting of neutrino particles moving at the speed of light and massive bodies. The calculation results are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental results. Further development of the model could lead to a theory that describes both weak and gravitational interactions.

Precise Theory of Neutron Lifetime Based on Composite Particle and Magnetic Perturbation Destabilization Mechanism

Authors: Xianzhong Cheng
Comments: 6 Pages.

This paper proposes a novel neutron composite model, describing the neutron as a two-level bound state composed of a proton (p), an electron (eu207b), and a sterile antineutrino ��̄ ��) through electromagnetic and magnetic moment interactions. The core mechanism lies in the orbital instability caused by magnetic moment perturbations within the Wu207b bound state (eu207b-��̄ ��), which drives βu207b decay. By introducing quantization conditions for orbital angular momentum, a closed self-consistent system of equations is constructed and solved. For the first time, this theory directly derives key internal parameters of the neutron from first principles, including its radius (~1.28 fm) and the orbital velocity of the Wu207b bound state (~0.115c). It also predicts the magnetic moment of the sterile antineutrino (3.64×10u207b¹u2070����) and its relativistic velocity within the bound state (0.54c)[1]. Based on this framework, the neutron lifetime is naturally predicted as 878.4 seconds, with a deviation of only -0.20% compared to the experimental value (880.2±1.0 seconds)[2]. Furthermore, the probabilistic nature of decay (half-life) is attributed to quantum tunneling effects at the critical point of orbital instability, unifying the dynamical process of decay with quantum statistical outcomes within a single theoretical framework.

The Neutron Magnetic Moment Derived from a Speculative Model

Authors: Eric Louis Beaubien
Comments: 4 Pages.

This article quantifies the known measured magnetic moment of the neutron corrected from a previous article. My original neutron viXra article (2507.0122) gave the exact numbers for the neutron mass and its Compton wavelength derived from NIST constants (codata 2022), but the magnetic moment it generated was incorrect. Herein that measure is corrected through a re-imagining of the electron’s magnetic field. This solution yields the correct magnetic moment while retaining the previous neutron mass and Compton wavelength calculations.
