Louey Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Me again! Does anyone know where I can find some more info on beta-minus decay. I have a 11 over 4 Be atom and and have to write an equation for the beta-minus decay of it and show symbols for the boron isotope that is produced and for the other particles that are emitted. Want to do this one by myself but it is still a bit of gobbledegook to me - more of what symbols - 11 over 4Be then an arrow then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 yeah i can tell you actually: since i cant do superscripts and subscripts...i'll have to use the / 11/4Be->b- + 11/5B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Use the sub and sup tags - quote this message to see them inaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 yeah but you cant use a subscript and a superscript and write above and below right? blahblah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 yeah it didnt work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Oh I see what you mean. Use Latex for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 yeah i can tell you actually:since i cant do superscripts and subscripts...i'll have to use the / 11/4Be->b- + 11/5B [math]\left.^{11}_{4} \mbox{Be}\right. \rightarrow \beta^{-} + \left.^{11}_{5} \mbox{B}\right.[/math] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louey Posted June 22, 2004 Author Share Posted June 22, 2004 Thank you and finally found something that was easier to understand than what is in my text book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 [math']\left.^{11}_{4} \mbox{Be}\right. \rightarrow \beta^{-} + \left.^{11}_{5} \mbox{B}\right.[/math] You've violated spin and lepton number conservation. [math]\left.^{11}_{4} \mbox{Be}\right. \rightarrow ^{0}_{-1}\beta + \left.^{11}_{5} \mbox{B}\right + ^{0}_{0}\bar{\nu}[/math] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 gah (in my defence, I was only copying out what he had written ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
