One of the four fundamental forces of nature, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong force. The weak force is the second weakest of these, after gravity. It affects all matter particles, but not force-carrying particles. Weak interactions are responsible for all processes in which flav...

This force is carried by heavy particles known as the W-boson and the Z-boson. The most common manifestation of this force is beta decay, in which a neutron in a nucleus is transformed into a proton, by emitting an electron and a neutrino.

The force responsible for beta decay. This force occurs through the exchange of the W and Z
0 particles. All leptons and hadrons interact via this force. The weak force controls many of the reactions that produce energy in the sun and the stars. The weak force is some hundred thousand times weaker than the strong force. See also: Beta Par...

Interactions that change the flavour of particles; for example thedecay of a neutron into a proton,electron, and anti-neutrino; are governed bythe weak force. The weak force is the only one that affects neutrinos.
