Abstract

This paper proposes a new neutron model to resolve discrepancies in neutron lifetime measurements and the radial charge distribution. A structure of d(u-e-u), with an electron between two up quarks, is presented, replacing the traditional ddu model. The author reinterprets Fermi’s beta-decay theory, suggesting that neutron decay does not involve W bosons as mediators but creates them during the process. The new model addresses experimental inconsistencies in neutron behavior and provides better alignment with charge distribution data from JLab. Several implications are discussed regarding the Standard Model, neutrino structure, and particle mass origin, suggesting a paradigm shift in nuclear physics theories.
