Long-sought measurement of exotic beta decay in thallium helps extract the timescale of the sun's birth
They succeeded in the measurement of the bound-state beta decay of fully-ionized thallium (²⁰⁵Tl⁸¹⁺) ions at the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) of GSI/FAIR. This measurement has ...

The Standard Model Beta decay
Beta (\(\beta^-\)) decay is the release of an electron by the change of a neutron to a proton. The neutron (charge = 0) is made up of one up quark (charge = \(\frac{2}{3}\)) and two down quarks ...

Weak nuclear force
The effects of the weak force were first discovered at the turn of the 20th century, in the place where it is most obviously at work: in radioactive beta decay. In the most common form of this ...
