In beta decay, an unstable atom releases energy in the form of a particle (called a beta particle). Scientists studying beta decay found that the energy of the beta particle was not enough to account ...

β-Decay: A type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (electron or positron) is emitted, commonly used to study neutrino properties in tritium decay.

Generally, these nuclear protection suits provide safety against alpha and beta particles and, to some extent, X-ray and Gamma-ray radiation. The boron present inside the suit absorbs alpha and beta ...
