1 day ago · An alpha particle is a positively-charged particle of matter that is spontaneously emitted from certain radioactive elements. Alpha particles are so tiny as to be invisible, but they can be detected with the use of phosphorescent screens, photographic plates, or electrodes. Rutherford discovered them in 1899. [9] .
5 days ago · In particle physics, the Dirac equation is a relativistic wave equation derived by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. In its free form, or including electromagnetic interactions, it describes all spin-1/2 massive particles, called "Dirac particles", such as electrons and quarks for which parity is a symmetry.
2 days ago · We use the relativistic mean field (RMF) model to conduct a thorough analysis of the ground-state properties of $$^{67-80}$$ 67 - 80 Ge nuclei. Binding energies and neutron skin thicknesses are computed for a total of 14 neutron-rich Ge isotopes. This study covers a comprehensive overview of the state of the art regarding the RMF model’s explanation of nuclear ground-state properties ...
3 days ago · Those particles with half-integer spins, such as 1 / 2 , 3 / 2 , 5 / 2 , are known as fermions, while those particles with integer spins, such as 0, 1, 2, are known as bosons. The two families of particles obey different rules and broadly have different roles in the world around us.
5 days ago · The alpha particles emitted by radium may be used to initiate nuclear reactions. Radium’s uses all stem from its radioactivity. The most important use of radium was formerly in medicine, principally for the treatment of cancer by subjecting tumours to the gamma radiation of its daughter isotopes.
5 days ago · Alpha, beta and gamma decays are three most common types of decays, these decays involve emitting one or more particles or photons. Complete answer: Alpha decay:- Alpha decay or \ [\alpha \]-decay is the type of decay in which the nucleus of the atom emits an alpha particle and transforms or decays into a new atomic nucleus.
5 days ago · Beta particles that are emitted are a form of ionizing radiation known as beta rays. There are two forms of beta particles, ß+ or ß-, depending on if it is a positron or electron respectively.
