Thanks Bogie
I'll try to send some more pictures. The three-quark neutron smashed by a neutrino shows how the six face charges can react to produce a proton, electron and kinetic energy of a photon. Actually, the neutrino should hit the down quark and transform this into an up-quark and an electron . Sense the central up-quark in the middle will be repell the transformed up-quark and send it over to the down-quark by unlike charges with the down-quark in the middle particle (proton). The transformation does happen to a free neutron -- it becomes a proton, an electron and radiation. It's not in the texbooks about a neutrino striking the neutron to transmutate -- it was thought that the transformation was an instability in the makeup of the free neuton. Interrestingly, an electron-neutrino can change into a muon-nutrino and gain mass (travels slower) I guess. What I see is two electron-neutrinoes coming together to form another family of neutrinoes. It is a much more informative way of thinking about the families of quarks and leptons. Neutrinoes fill space and can by chance cause a mutation of the particles.
