Positron Decay
Positron decay, a fascinating phenomenon in particle physics, involves the transformation of a proton into a neutron by emitting a positron and a neutrino. This intriguing process occurs within atomic nuclei, contributing to the delicate balance of particles. As the antimatter counterpart of electrons, positrons play a crucial role in this decay, leading to a deeper understanding of fundamental particles and their interactions. Exploring the intricacies of positron decay not only sheds light on the dynamics within atomic structures but also enhances our comprehension of the underlying principles governing the subatomic realm.
