In nuclear and particle physics, inverse beta decay, commonly abbreviated to IBD, is a nuclear reaction involving an electron antineutrino scattering off...

beta decay, because the basic nuclear process, mediated by the weak force, is the same. In nuclear physics, beta decay is a type of radioactive decay...

ratio. For some isotopes with a relatively low n/p ratio, there is an inverse beta decay, by which a proton is transformed into a neutron, thus moving towards...

In nuclear physics, double beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which two neutrons are simultaneously transformed into two protons, or vice versa...

antineutrinos with an energy above threshold of 1.8 MeV can trigger inverse beta decay and thus be unambiguously identified (see § Detection below). An estimated...

possible through electron capture: p+ + e− → n0 + ν e A rarer reaction, inverse beta decay, involves the capture of a neutrino by a nucleon. Rarer still, positron...

protons via inverse beta-decay, resulting in a superdense conglomeration of neutrons. Normally free neutrons outside an atomic nucleus will decay with a half...

experiment, which instead observed ν + p → n + e+ . This process, inverse beta decay, conserves lepton number, as the incoming antineutrino has lepton...

an electron and an electron antineutrino. Both beta decay and the inverse process of inverse beta decay are routinely used in medical applications such...

interaction (also the Fermi theory of beta decay or the Fermi four-fermion interaction) is an explanation of the beta decay, proposed by Enrico Fermi in 1933...

the Earth. Only geoneutrinos from 232Th and 238U decay chains are detectable by the inverse beta-decay mechanism on the free proton because these have...

occur naturally. Radioisotopes typically decay into other elements via alpha decay, beta decay, or inverse beta decay; some isotopes of the heaviest elements...

neutron and expels a proton. It has a short half-life of about 7.1 s, but its decay back to 16O produces high-energy gamma radiation (5 to 7 MeV). Because of...

particle is given by the inverse of its decay rate, Γ {\displaystyle \Gamma } , the probability per unit time that the particle will decay. For a particle of...
