This is radioactive conversion emitting a beta particle. During beta decay the mass number of the parent nuclide is equal to the newly created nuclide, whereas the atomic number of the newly created n [..]

The process of radioactive decay in which a neutron loses a beta particle, which is physically identical to an electron. This increases the atomic number of the atom by one by turning the neutron into a proton. The atom’s atomic mass number stays the same because the total number of protons and neutrons remain the same. The most common form of radi [..]

The radioactive decay process which occurs via the transmission of a beta particle (or high speed electron).

Definition The tendency of a stock with a high beta coefficient to become less volatile. Beta is a measure of the volatility of a stock's price. A stock with a high beta coefficient experiences l [..]

The disintegration of a nucleus into a nucleus of another element, with the emission of a beta particle.

A radioactive process in which a neutron changes into a proton and emits an electron and an anti-neutrino.

the breakdown of a neutron into a proton, which remains in the nucleus, and an electron, which is emitted as a beta particle.

the release of a negatively or positively charged electron from a nucleus of an atom, which changes the atomic number
