2Decay chain — In nuclear science, the decay chain refers to the radioactive decay of different discrete radioactive decay products as a chained series of transformations. Most radioactive elements do not decay directly to a stable state, but rather undergo a… …
3Decay scheme — The Decay scheme of a radioactive substance is a graphical presentation of all the transitions occurring in a decay, and of their relationships. Decay schemes of radioactive isotopes Decay scheme of 60Co These relations can be quite complicated;… …
4decay — 1. Destruction of an organic substance by slow combustion or gradual oxidation. 2. SYN: putrefaction. 3. To deteriorate; to undergo slow combustion or putrefaction. 4. In dentistry, caries. 5. In psychology, loss of informat …

6Neutron emission — Neutron emitters to left of lower dashed line Z → 0 1 2 n ↓ n H He 3 4 0 1H Li Be 5 6 1 …
7Positron emission tomography — (PET) is a nuclear medicine imaging technique which produces a three dimensional image or map of functional processes in the body. The system detects pairs of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a positron emitting radionuclide (tracer), which is… …
8Radioactive decay — For particle decay in a more general context, see Particle decay. For more information on hazards of various kinds of radiation from decay, see Ionizing radiation. Radioactive redirects here. For other uses, see Radioactive (disambiguation).… …

10Spontaneous emission — is the process by which a light source such as an atom, molecule, nanocrystal or nucleus in an excited state undergoes a transition to the ground state and emits a photon. Spontaneous emission of light or luminescence is a fundamental process… …
