Neutrino: Origin of Its Energy during Neutron Decay - A Classical Perspective within the VTI Framework

Abstract The neutron undergoes beta decay with the emission of a proton, an electron, and a neutrino, yet the origin of the small energy carried by the neutrino remains conceptually unclear within standard formulations. In this work, a purely classical approach is developed within the VTI (Vacuum Tension Interpretation) framework, in which the neutron is treated as a pressure-limited, structurally stable assembly of confined, electrically neutral charge units (Qc units). Each Qc unit stores a fixed Coulomb confinement energy determined by balance with a universal vacuum-tension limit, establishing a natural MeV-scale internal energy reservoir.
Neutron decay is interpreted as a localized redistribution of confined electric field energy in the outermost Qc unit, modeled as an extended charge configuration rather than a point charge. The difference between pre- and post-decay field configurations releases a charge-neutral energy representing a minute fraction of the total Qc confinement energy and is identified with the neutrino. The smallness of neutrino energy thus follows naturally from classical energy scaling and confinement constraints.
