Beta Radiation Summary
752 words, approx. 3 pages
Beta radiation is the emission of an electron from the nucleus of a radioactive isotope. This electron comes from one of the neutrons in an unstable nucleus. The weak nuclear force is involved, and the neutron is converted into a proton when the beta...

Beta Particle Summary
380 words, approx. 1 pages
Henri Becquerel discovered the ability of certain materials to give off radiation spontaneously ( radioactivity) in 1896. The logical follow-up question to this discovery was what the nature of that radiation was. At first, Becquerel thought the...

Beta Particle Summary
95 words, approx. 1 pages
An electron emitted by the nucleus of a radioactive atom. The beta particle is produced when a neutron within the nucleus decays into a proton and an electron. Beta particles have greater penetrating power than alpha particles but less than x-ray or...

Beta Particle : Environmental Health Terms
44 words, approx. 1 pages
A radioactive particle equivalent to an electron. It has a mass 1/1836 that of a PROTON and carries a negative charge. Some beta particles carry a positive charge; if so, they are known as positrons. See also: ALPHA PARTICLE; GAMMA RADIATION;...

Beta particle Information
388 words, approx. 1 pages
Beta particles are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei such as potassium-40. The beta particles emitted are a form of ionizing radiation also known as beta rays. The production of beta particles...

Effect of the Size Distribution of Alpha Particles on Microstructure Evolution during Heat Treatment of an Alpha/Beta Titanium Alloy
01/01/2005: 1,231 words, approx. 4 pages
A model was developed to describe the diffusional growth of a size distribution of alpha particles in Ti-6Al-4V during cooldown following alpha/beta solution treatment. Model results for initial microstructures with the same initial volume fraction of alpha but comprising either a distribution of particle...

Unraveling the details of beta decay. (beta particles)
01/11/1992: 241 words, approx. 1 pages
Many radioactive atoms decay by emitting beta particles, or electrons, thereby transforming themselves into new elements. For each atomic isotope, these beta particles emerge from nuclei with a characteristic distribution, or spectrum, of energies. Theorist Steven E. Koonin of the California Institute of...
