Te Fundamentals of Beta Decay Detection
Co z Betą Decay?
Beta decay is a nuclear transformation in which a neutron with in unstable nucles converts into a proton, emitting an electron (thee beta particile) and an antinuutrino. In some cases, a neutron-rich nucles may undergo beta-minus decay, while a proton- rich nucles may undergo beta-plus decay (positron emission) or elecade capture.
