Keywords: Zerfallsschema.png The decay of a proton rich nucleus A with Z protons and N neutrons populates excited states of a daughter nucleus B by β+ emission or electron capture EC Those excited states which are lying below the separation energy for protons Sp are decaying by γ emission towards the groundstate of daughter B For the higher excited states a competitive decay channel of proton emission to the granddaughter C exists This process is called β-delayed proton emission 2006-02-14 own assumed Abschalom~commonswiki Decay schemes |
