  1. 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.
