Cherenkov radiation in spent fuel bays is most commonly caused by these particles.
The energy of these particles is displayed on a Kurie-Fermi plot. Cherenkov radiation in spent fuel bays is most commonly caused by these particles. These particles accompany a less massive particle of opposite lepton number during their namesake decay, which is mediated by W bosons. Steps two and three of the main uranium-238 decay series release these particles as thorium decays to protactinium and then to uranium. When one of these particles is released from a nucleus, the atomic number changes, but not the atomic mass. For 10 points, name these particles that consist of high energy electrons or positrons.
