Transcription: As you saw in earlier activities, beta minus decay is only part of the story as far as beta decays are concerned. There's a related process, known as beta plus decay, that follows similar rules and in many ways is the inverse process to that of beta minus decay. The following questions look at an example of a beta plus decay process, concentrating in turn on the three levels of structure that you've just investigated. These questions will provide you with useful practice in applying the rules for beta decay at the level of nuclei, at the level of nucleons and at the level of quarks. Use the in ...
