Abstract
This paper presents a mechanism of decay of elementary particles, which has been developed based on a new approach. The results obtained may be of interest to experimenters engaged in the decay of Z 0 bosons. Schemes and modes of the structural decay of gamma structures, one of which is the Z 0 boson, are given. Analysis of the schemes and modes of the structural decay has shown that the decays of the product triple-quark particles (products of the decay of a Z 0 boson into triple-quark particles) result in the occurrence of a new mode of decay – the decay of one triple-quark particle into three triple-quark particles. According to the proposed mechanism of the decay of particles, an electron, a muon, a triton, and a gamma photon are particles consisting of a quark–antiquark pair and having a spin equal to unity.
