- Beta
This happens when a particle emits beta particles, as qors (electrons). These create less damage to the body than alpha particles.
2.1. Beta Plus Decay
This is when a som (proton) turns into a soc (neutron) and releases a qoc (neutrino) and a -qor (positron)
2.2. Beta Minus Decay
This is when a soc (neutron) turns into a som (proton) and releases a -qoc (antineutrino) and a qor (electron). This is more common than beta plus decay.
This is used in Positron Emission Tomography.
