These have low penetration power and so they are easily stopped.</p> https://www.superphysics.org/material/principles/part-4/chapter-03/section-02/unit-03/ Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.superphysics.org/material/principles/part-4/chapter-03/section-02/unit-03/ <ol start="2"> <li>Beta</li> </ol> <p>This happens when a particle emits beta particles, as qors (electrons).

This makes it part of the convertible layer --> <!-- https://youtu.be/i1c07TuLqeg --> <!-- Beta Plus Decay happens when a proton turns into a neutron when energy is added. This raises its aether beyond what is natural for a proton. This causes it to convert into a neutron. The excess aether is ejected into the aetherspace, creating a neutrino and a positron. This also converts an up quark into a down quark. This cancels out its rotation, giving it a neutral charge and added mass. Beta Minus Decay happens when a neutron gives off its aether. This reverses the process, turning it back to a proton, but creates an electron and anti neutrino instead. --> <!-- ## Beta Plus (upgrade) In Beta Plus decay when proton is more massie is upgraded to Neutron by adding aether as proven by the antielectron Proton - Neutron ``` (Proton + Energy) : (Neutron + -qor + qoc) ``` Emits: - antielectron (e⁻) - neutrino (ν̅e) ## Beta Minus In Beta Minus decay happens when neutron is more massive and is downgraded to Proton as as proven by the antineutrino ``` (Neutron + Energy) : (Proton + qor + -qoc) ``` Emits: - electron (e⁻) - antineutrino (ν̅e) --> https://www.superphysics.org/material/principles/part-4/chapter-03/section-02/unit-01/ Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.superphysics.org/material/principles/part-4/chapter-03/section-02/unit-01/ <p>The Weak Force is most known by Modern Physics for particle decay.</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Sublayer</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Used in</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Upper</td> <td>Gamma</td> <td>sterilization</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mid</td> <td>Beta</td> <td>medical imaging</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Lower</td> <td>Alpha</td> <td>smoke detectors</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>These are present in nuclear fission and fusion primarily through Beta decay.</p>
