Quantum tunneling emission of an alpha particle from a parent nucleus.
wp-physics-alpha_decayiaea-ensdfiaea-livechartEach relation below ends at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Alpha decay is a radioactive decay channel.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
wp-physics-alpha_decayiaea-ensdfwp-physics-radioactive_decayEach relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Alpha decay produces a helium-4 nucleus (alpha particle) and a daughter nuclide, with the cluster escaping through quantum tunneling.
A physical process transforms the source into, or produces, the target under the conditions stated in the edge detail.
