Term | Definition |
---|---|
Beta decay | loss of a negative charge with no mass (0,-1 e) |
Alpha decay | loss of a Helium nucleus (4,2 He) |
Positron production | loss of a positive charge with no mass (0,1 e) |
Neutron bombardment | Addition of a neutron to an atom that results in an beta decay |
Positive-ion bombardment | Addition of a Helium nucleus to an atom that results in the loss of a neutron |
Electron capture | Nucleus captures a inner orbital electron, (0,-1 e) is a reactant. reaction causes gamma ray to be released |
Gamma ray production | Reaction emits a high energy photon with no mass or atomic number |
t1/2 equation | t1/2 = 0.693/k |
