The animation presents an example of beta-delayed particle emission. In this particular case the decay process consists of the following steps: β+ decay: 2615P11 → 2614Si12 + e+ + ν, followed by proton emission (proton decay): 2614Si12 → 2513Al12 + p. |
In the rollover image of the picture below Proton decay – in the sense of spontaneous proton emission by a ground-state nucleus – only occurs near the proton dripline on the table of nuclides. |
