Beta decay
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" (β−), while in the case of a
positron emission
as "beta plus" (β+).In β− decay, the
weak interaction
converts a
neutron
(n0) into a
proton
(p+) while emitting an electron (e−) and an
anti-neutrino
():.At the
fundamental
level (as depicted in the
Feynman diagram
below), this is due to the conversion of a
down quark
to an
up quark
by emission of a
W
-
boson
; the W- boson subsequently decays into an electron and an anti-neutrino.
