Decay modes
Mode of decay Participating particles Daughter nucleus
Decays with emission of nucleons
α Alpha decay An alpha particle (A = 4, Z = 2) emitted from nucleus (A − 4, Z − 2)
p, 2p Proton emission A proton ejected from nucleus (A − 1, Z − 1)
Double proton emission Two protons ejected from nucleus simultaneously (A − 2, Z − 2)
Neutron emission A neutron ejected from nucleus (A − 1, Z)
n, 2n
SF Spontaneous fission Nucleus disintegrates into two or more smaller nuclei and other particles
CD Cluster decay Nucleus emits a specific type of smaller nucleus (A1, Z1) which is larger than an alpha particle (A − A1, Z − Z1) + (A1, Z1)
Different modes of beta decay
β Beta decay A nucleus emits an electron and an electron antineutrino (A, Z + 1)
β+ beta decay A nucleus emits a positron and an electron neutrino (A, Z − 1)
Electron capture A nucleus captures an orbiting electron and emits a neutrino; the daughter nucleus is left in an excited unstable state (A, Z − 1)
Bound state beta decay A free neutron or nucleus beta decays to electron and antineutrino, but the electron is not emitted, as it is captured into an empty K-shell; the daughter nucleus is left in an excited and unstable state. This process is a minority of free neutron decays (0.0004%) due to the low energy of hydrogen ionization, and is suppressed except in ionized atoms that have K-shell vacancies. (A, Z + 1)
Double beta decay A nucleus emits two electrons and two antineutrinos (A, Z + 2)
Double electron capture A nucleus absorbs two orbital electrons and emits two neutrinos – the daughter nucleus is left in an excited and unstable state (A, Z − 2)
Electron capture with positron emission A nucleus absorbs one orbital electron, emits one positron and two neutrinos (A, Z − 2)
Double positron decay A nucleus emits two positrons and two neutrinos (A, Z − 2)
Transitions between states of the same nucleus
IT Isomeric transition Excited nucleus releases a high-energy photon (gamma ray) (A, Z)
Internal conversion Excited nucleus transfers energy to an orbital electron, which is subsequently ejected from the atom (A, Z)
