SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on comparing the probabilities of three lepton processes involving electron-positron annihilation. The processes are: 1) e+ + e- → νμ + νμ&bar;, 2) e+ + e- → νμ + νe&bar;, and 3) e+ + e- → νe + νe&bar;. The discussion emphasizes the necessity of determining the feasibility of these reactions and constructing Feynman diagrams to visualize the interactions, as some processes may be impossible while others can have multiple representations.
