What is beta break up?

Beta Decay is a form of radioactive decay in which the nucleus of the atom is subject to a change that causes beta to emit a particle. Other types of radioactive decay are alpha disintegration and gamma break -up. In addition to being a general scientific interest, beta has a number of practical applications, especially in the field of medicine, where beta particles are sometimes used to reduce or kill tumors. Beta can also be used in medical imaging studies as a stop. For stabilization, the conversion of excess neutrons or protons are converted, which maintains weight and increases a more stable core. In this process, the atom also turns into another element, because while the total number of particles in the core remains the same, the balance of the protons and neutrons is changed. Elektron and antineutrino. Electron is a beta particle while Antineutrino is a particle with some unusual properties. The existence of neutrinos and antineutrinos was determined in the 1930s of the 20th century, but only in the 1950s scientists could prove existeering of such particles. Three neutrinos flavors have been identified together with corresponding antineutrins. (And yes, "flavor" is a technical term in the wide world of particle physics.)

When the core undergoes beta plus disintegration, the proton is converted into a neutron, with the core emitting positron and neutrino. Beta particles can be electrons or positrons, as shown, depending on whether the core passes Beta minus or beta plus disintegration. Before the scientists realized that beta particles were just electrons or positrons, these particles have described these particles as "beta rays", and therefore some eD antiques contain links to beta rays.

Beta particles have more penetrating performance than alpha particles, but less than gamma particles. Beta particles can be stopped by a thick metal sheet, a large pocket of air or several sheets of paper. As a result, they are relatively safe to work if security measures are observed,When there are people around the elements that are subject to beta disintegration.

As well as alpha particles, beta particles can cause confusion if they get into the body. Sometimes this feature is used to advantage, as when the body is introduced radioactive elements to treat cancer. However, in cases where the beta particles are not introduced by a design, they may damage the body cells or even cause reproductive health problems to interfere with eggs and sperm.
