Hello.
I'm new so I am uncertain to which forum this post should be posted in so I'll just leave this here.
Anyways, I was reading about the four fundamental forces and it came to my mind that the W boson is 80.4 GeV, whilst the two lepton that are excreted upon destruction are 0.511 MeV (Electron) and 2.4 eV (The corresponding neutrino). So where does the 80.3994889976 GeV go when W is destroyed and excretes these two particle? Kinetic Energy?
I also noticed that a W boson excreted by another generation of fermion seems to also cause the boson to excrete another generation of leptons, why is this?
