Question

In the muon decay process

Why are two neutrinos emitted?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Neutrinos are born in various decays, which is when a particle changes from one type into another. There are a couple of ways this can happen.

Sometimes, elementary particles (which are the ones that can’t be broken down any further) transform into different, lighter particles, often creating neutrinos in the process. This is particle decay. A common example is when the muon decays into an electron, an electron antineutrino, and a muon neutrino (μ → e + ¯νe + νμ). Muons are unstable and decay into their lighter counterparts, electrons, in about 2.2 microseconds.

Nonelementary, or composite, particles can also change and emit neutrinos. This is especially important in the protons and neutrons that make up atoms.
