Radioactive Decay
... In the same way that a rock at a top of hill is not stable and has “too much” potential energy and “wants” to get rid of it by rolling down the hill, the nucleus of an atom can become unstable, essentially this means that it has to much energy and wants to get rid of its energy. This can be due to t ...

... efficient injection of antiprotons into the positrons with very low kinetic energies. About 6 × 103 antihydrogen atoms are produced by enabling the plasmas to interact for 1 s. Most of the atoms annihilate on the trap walls32 , whereas a small fraction are trapped. A series of fast electric field pu ...

CHAPTER 3: The Experimental Basis of Quantum Theory
... In the 1890s scientists and engineers were familiar with “cathode rays”. These rays were generated from one of the metal plates in an evacuated tube across which a large electric potential had been established. It was surmised that cathode rays had something to do with atoms. It was known that catho ...

Introduction to Radioactivity and Radioactive decay
... Gamma decay The third class of radioactive decay is gamma decay, in which the nucleus changes from a higher-level energy state to a lower level. Similar to the energy levels for electrons in the atom, the nucleus has energy levels. The concepts of shells, and more stable nuclei having filled she ...

Cathode Rays
... to red heat. Cathode rays travel in straight lines and cast sharp shadows. Unlike light, however, cathode rays are attracted toward a positively charged plate. This led to the conclusion that cathode rays are negatively charged. Careful microscopic study of a screen that emits light when struck by c ...
