A neutron consists of three quarks, a up quark and two down quarks. One of these down quarks can decay into an up quark (which is lighter) and a W- boson.

You now have two up quarks and one down quark which makes up a proton! Your neutron has changed into a proton!

The W- boson goes on to decay into (probably) an electron and anti-electron neutrino.
