Is the Weak Nuclear Force really weak?


Recommended Posts

A presenter I like: Fermilab's Don Lincoln - Endorsed by CERN! 😁
There are things You/I may not have thought too clearly about?

The W Boson has mass, typically around 80Gev - But a much wider
range - with low probability! "What's needed for radioactive decay
is a W-Boson with a mass of 0.001GeV" - Thus this process is rare,
rather than being due to an intrinsically WEAK force! Neat, Eh? 😎
