Abstract
A comparison is made of the results found in the application of two-component and four-component theories of the two neutrinos to weak lepton processes (muon decay) and semilepton processes. The predictions of the two theories clearly differ in the V-A version of the coupling of electron and muon currents and of muon and baryon currents. In contrast with the theory of two-component neutrinos (the V-A interaction), four-component theory predicts that a V + A interaction of electron and muon currents is responsible for muon decay.
