Radioactive Decay

With an incredible pride, Scientific Federation Organized International Conference on Atomic & Nuclear physics. The conference was focused on the Atomic and nuclear physics and interactions of atomic nuclei. Will be held on July 23-25, 2018 at Osaka, Japan.

Radioactive Decay is the decomposition of an unstable atom into multiple parts. Often, this involves the emission of radiation, hence the name radioactive decay. Some elements of the periodic table have no stable atoms, while some have stable and unstable isotopes, meaning that the number of protons remains the same, but stability can vary with the number of neutrons.

Also, there are different ways that atoms can decay into others.The three most common were the first types of radiation isolated, and there were named alpha, beta, and gamma decay.

Alpha decay involves an unstable nucleus of an atom emitting an entire Helium-4 nucleus, that is, two protons and two neutrons, at once. This nucleus is also known as an alpha particle. The resulting nucleus of the parent atom has two less protons and two less neutrons than it did before alpha decay. Some argue that the Helium nucleus takes two electrons with it when an atom experiences alpha decay, because otherwise there would be an unbalanced charge, and some believe that two electrons are simply released into the environment.

Radioactive decay is a natural process where an unstable atom loses energy by emitting particles thus decaying into smaller atoms. Radioactive decay can sometimes release  neutrinos tiny, electrically neutral, and nearly mass less elementary particles that pass through most normal matter with little to no interaction. Because of their ability to phase through matter mostly unaffected, these ghosts like particles are very hard to detect.

The Future Holds Scientists still don’t know where the rest of the Earth’s heat from this is a subject for future research. “One thing we can say with near certainty is that radioactive decay alone is not enough to account for Earth’s heat energy,” physicist Stuart Freedman, who collaborated on the project, Whether the rest is primordial heat or comes from some other source is an unanswered question.

ICANP-2018 brings along leading scientists, engineers, administrators of firms within the scope of Atomic & physics to exchange data on their current analysis progress. ICANP-2018 has initiated with an excellent Organizing Committee from well-known universities across the world, creating it a specially designed cluster conference which will be covering most aspects and fields of Atomic & Nuclear Physics.
