In natural units with unreduced Planck mass , the radiation-era Hubble parameter scales as , while a low-energy weak interaction rate scales as . Their equality gives a decoupling scale of order one MeV. Distinct weak processes have distinct rate coefficients: neutrino decoupling and cosmological weak freeze-out of neutron-proton conversion are nearby events, not an identical precise temperature inferred from the power laws alone.
