Beta decay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In nuclear physics, beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (an electron or a positron) is emitted. In the case of electron emission, it is referred to as beta minus (),...

Beta decay is one process that unstable atoms can use to become more stable. There are two types of beta decay, beta-minus and beta-plus. ... Although the numbers of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus change during beta decay, the total number of particles (protons + neutrons) remains the same...

Double beta decay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Double beta decay is a radioactive decay process where a nucleus releases two beta rays as a single process. In double-beta decay, two neutrons in the nucleus are converted to protons, and two electr...

This process is known as beta decay, and the electron is called a beta particle in this context. ... You can write out the nuclear reaction involved in the beta decay of tritium by giving the electron a "mass number" of 0 and an "atomic number" of -1: 3H1 => 3He2 + 0e-1...

Beta particles are electrons or positrons (electrons with positive electric charge, or antielectrons). Beta decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.

The emission of the electron's antiparticle, the positron, is also called beta decay. Beta decay can be seen as the decay of one of the neutrons to a proton via the weak interaction. The use of a weak interaction Feynman diagram can clarify the process.
