The sulfur-32 nucleus captures the neutron and emits a proton, reducing the atomic number by one while maintaining the mass number of 32.
The nucleus may emit gamma radiation.
When the gradient field is removed the nuclei revert back to their original state and emit energy.
This nucleus may then emit protons, neutrons, or alpha particles followed by a shower of tens of gamma rays.
However, in internal conversion, the nucleus does not first emit an intermediate real gamma ray, and therefore need not change angular momentum or electric moment.
The nuclei emit radio waves of their own at a characteristic frequency when allowed to realign their axis of spin with the prevailing field.
Radioactive decay, the set of various processes by which unstable atomic nuclei (nuclides) emit subatomic particles.
Certain radioactive nuclei emit alpha particles.
The new isotope's nucleus rapidly emits an electron, decaying into new element with a mass of 239 and an atomic number of 93.
As the unstable nucleus emits radiation (disintegrates), the radionuclide transforms to different nuclides.
