This is
beta-plus
decay
The force holding
protons
together in an atom is called the
strong
nuclear
force
and attracts up to 3 fm and repels under 0.5 fm
Hadrons
, such as
protons
, neutrons and mesons experience both strong and weak nuclear forces
Leptons
, such as electrons, muons and
neutrinos
are only affected by weak nuclear forces and not strong nuclear forces
