Alpha Decay Beta Decay There are two types of beta decay or beta emission: beta-minus decay and beta-plus or positron decay. Beta-minus {eq}\beta ^{-} {/eq} particle is an electron {eq}_{-1}^{0}\textrm{e} {/eq}. Beta-plus or positron {eq}\beta ^{+} {/eq} is the oppos...
There are three types of nuclear decay. Alpha decay involves the release of a positively charged particle and reduces the atomic number of the atom by two protons. Beta decay involves the breakdown of a neutron into a proton and the release of a high energy electron. Gamma decay usually acco...
Circuit switching is defined as one of the switching techniques that is divided into different paths for the establishment of the circuit. It is known as the connection-oriented network. Learn about the types, phases, applications, examples, advantages a
A Zombie, in its broadest sense, is a person who has lost his or her sense of self-awareness and identity, and cares only for the destruction (and often consumption) of any human around, no matter what the circumstances, or cost to his or her self. They
Two new types of germanium detectors are investigated: inverted coaxial and PPC. The detectors are designed to be used in a new generation experiment for searching of neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ). Preliminary results confirm the possibility of using these types of detectors in the ...

BETA DECAY: Some unstable nuclides contain an excess of neutrons and will eject a high-energybeta particle({eq}^0_{-1}\beta {/eq}) that reduces its neutron-to-proton ratio, making the daughter nuclide more stable. A beta particle is just an electron that has a charge of -1, while ...
1897: The electron (beta particle) is discovered by J. J. Thompson, who realized that the electric charge of cathode rays was carried by a particle with mass when he was able to bend its path with an electric field. 1900: Gamma rays are discovered by French chemist Paul Villard while ob...
Disasters are increasing around the world. Children are greatly impacted by both natural disasters (forces of nature) and man-made (intentional, accidental) disasters. Their unique anatomical, physiological, behavioral, developmental, and psychological..
