decay mode
double electron capture
decay mode
neutron emission
decay where a neutron is ejected from the nucleus
neutron emission
decay where a neutron is ejected from the nucleus
cluster decay
nuclear decay in which an atomic nucleus emits a small cluster of neutrons and protons
electron capture
process in which a proton-rich nuclide absorbs an inner atomic electron
spontaneous fission
form of radioactive decay found in very heavy chemical elements
beta decay
emmision of beta particles by a decaying radioactive atom
proton emission
radioactive decay where a proton is ejected from the nucleus
positron emission
radioactive decay in which a proton is converted into a neutron while releasing a positron and a neutrino
internal conversion
radioactive decay process wherein an excited nucleus interacts electromagnetically with one of its electrons, causing it to be ejected from the atom
double beta decay
decay mode
double proton emission
type of radioactive decay
alpha decay
emission of alpha particles by a decaying radioactive atom
gamma decay
decay mode emitting gamma ray photon
beta minus decay
beta decay where the atomic number increases and an electron is emitted
isomeric transition
decay of an nuclear isomer to lower energy states of the nuclide
