I thought at first Bjoern did a typo, however he
repeated his error, I will correct, the current need
for the neutrino is based on SPIN conservation NOT
energy conservation. That is obvious to anyone who
understands that the energy of a neutrino is ambiguous,
and has never been set forth to solve any sort of
energy conservation problem.
The two solutions are as follows,
(n=neutron, p=proton, e=electron, v=neutrino)
(1) n => p + e + v (spin 1/2 = 1/2 + 1/2 -1/2)
or
(2) n + v' => p + e (spin 1/2 + 1/2 = 1/2 + 1/2)
Decay (1) is acausal, and depends on spontaneous decay.
Decay (2) is causual, and depends on the neutrino flux.
While (1) is conventional, (2) is leading edge.
