A Structural Model of Neutron Beta Decay Based on Internal Hydrogenic Charge Configuration

Abstract The neutron is conventionally described as undergoing beta decay through a probabilistic process characterized by an exponential decay law, without explicit reference to an underlying internal structural mechanism. In the present work, the neutron is modeled as a confined assembly of discrete quantum charge units (Qc), consisting of 135 entangled pairs and a single unpaired boundary unit.
A boundary-referenced coordinate system is introduced to describe internal structural propagation. Within this framework, decay time is interpreted as emerging from three-dimensional propagation across the internal structure. When combined with the standard exponential decay formulation, the observed decay law is obtained as a consequence of structural dynamics rather than as an independently postulated statistical behavior.
The presence of a single unpaired boundary Qc unit provides a structural basis for decay initiation and explains the preferential emission of the electron. Following decay, the remaining configuration becomes fully paired, accounting for the absence of a second decay under normal conditions. Variations in decay time are attributed to differences in internal propagation depth, leading naturally to a statistical distribution.
The proposed framework offers a structural interpretation of neutron decay in which temporal behavior and probability emerge from internal organization. While the underlying assumptions require further validation, the formulation provides a consistent and potentially useful complementary perspective to existing descriptions.
