Abstract
A possible mechanism of the virtual intermediate-scalar-leptoquark-boson exchange associated with the contribution of right-handed nucleon currents to free-neutron beta decay is demonstrated. The hypothesis can be extended by considering the realization of the same mechanism in beta decay via the emission of right-handed neutrinos (left-handed antineutrinos). It is shown that a hypothesis of this kind leads to the appearance of scalar and tensor terms in the effective Hamiltonian of weak interaction and that these terms include the right-handed neutrinos. Relevant experimental data are discussed.
