Acceleration of a polarized neutron by its weak nuclear self-interaction

Résumé

It is proven that the rotation of the spin of a polarized neutron is accompanied by a net nuclear force upon it. This force arises from the weak nuclear self-interaction of its constituent quarks, whose chiral nature induces the transfer of a net momentum to the fields of Z and W-bosons. This effect is linear in Fermi's constant. As a result, it is estimated that along the spin-flip of a polarized neutron its velocity undergoes a variation of the order of meters per second.
