I'd like to know the application of the result of knowing the lifetime of a neutron. Also, is there a physical manifestation to be seen (felt) during the decay of neutrons in an atom?

What do you mean by "application of the result of knowing the lifetime of a neutron"? Neutrons are everywhere in atomic and nuclear physics, so that knowing them is crucial.
Beta decays are very important. For instance, this is how our sun (and any star) shines. Does it answer the question?
Yes. Crystal clear now. Thanks a lot.
My pleasure, as always ^^
