Q

electron electron feynman

A

electrons approach each other on the x-axis and exchange a photon. this causes e- to be repelled and change direction

Q

electron - positron feynman

A

electron and positron collide and annihilate into photons. photons pair produce a new electron and positron

Q

neutron decay feynman

A

neutron decays into proton
down quark becomes up quark
mediated by emission of W- boson
decays into electron and electron antineutrino

Q

why do we need electron antineutrino in feynman diagram

A

the anti maintains symmetry between baryon number, lepton number and mass

Q

types of symmetry

A
