Sentences with phrase «decay by electron»

In order for K - 40 to decay by electron capture, there has to be an electron (for the radioactive nucleus) to capture.

Not exact matches

Suprathermal electrons generated by the two - plasmon - decay instability in gas - filled Hohlraums

The next most common decay path is by electron capture.

KATRIN will study neutrinos, which are less than a millionth the mass of an electron, by sifting through the aftermath of radioactive decays of tritium, an isotope of hydrogen with two neutrons.

In certain isotopes of particular elements — species of atoms characterized by a given number of protons and neutrons — two beta decays can occur simultaneously, emitting two electrons and two antineutrinos.

According to a statement by CERN, for every billion B - sub-smesons produced, only three or so are expected to decay into two muons, heavier cousins of the electron.

«If you have an electron here and another there and they're localized in different places, the only way they'll interact will be by their exponentially decaying tails.

By adjusting the time delay between the two pulses, the scientists gained a very precise measurement — within a matter of attoseconds — of how long it takes the electron to decay.

But Daya Bay's nuclear reactors produce billions of trillions of electron antineutrinos every second, emitted by neutrons during a process called «beta decay,» and scientists have finally been able to measure their metamorphosis as they pass through a series of detectors positioned outside the reactors.

Tully runs a prototype lab in the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) that draws on the fact that neutrinos can be captured by tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, and provide a tiny boost of energy to the electrons emitted in tritium decay.

Scientists have long suspected that these elementary particles, which are produced by the decay of radioactive elements, have a unique trait — they can change, or «oscillate,» between their three known types, or «flavors» — the electron neutrino, the muon neutrino and the tau neutrino.
