Automated Sampling System for Monitoring 85Kr in Air
Atmosphere, 2023 Radioactive krypton-85 (85Kr) gas, a chemically inert and non-proliferation indicator, is derived from fission products. Its detection relies on the Budesamt für Strahlenschutz–Institute of Atmospheric Radioactivity (BfS-IAR) method, which necessitated ...

Two-proton radioactivity within a generalized liquid drop model [PDF]
, 2020 The generalized liquid drop model (GLDM) is firstly extended to study the two-proton ($2p$) radioactivity half-lives of the ground-state of nuclei. According to the comparison between the calculated half-lives and the experimental data, it is shown that the GLDM describes the $2p$ radioactivity half-lives well.

Introduction to Astronomy with Radioactivity [PDF]
Springer Astrophysics and Space Science Library, Vol. 453, as
Edition #2 (2018), 2010 In the late nineteenth century, Antoine Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity and thus the physics of weak interactions, well before atomic and quantum physics was known. The different types of radioactive decay, alpha, beta, and gamma decay, all are different types of interactions causing the same, spontaneous, and time-independent decay of an ...
