Well its not really a homework question but I have looked through the tutorials and am still at a loss.
During weak interactions the particle exchanged is either W- W+ or Z0. The thing is, I get confused which weak interactions involve W- and which involve W+. I know beta minus decay is W- and beta plus W+ but how do I work it out for an unknown reaction?
Is charge conservation involved, if so how?
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
