Beta-Negative Decay (Nuclear Physics) Necktie

Beta-Negative Decay (Nuclear Physics) Necktie

No need to be a physicist -- specifically, a quantum physicist or a nuclear physicist -- to enjoy any of these scientific, educational gifts featuring beta-negative decay. In beta-negative decay, the weak interaction converts a neutron into a proton while emitting an electron and an electron anti-neutrino . Specifically, it is due to the conversion of a down quark to an up quark by emission of a W⁻ boson; the W⁻ boson subsequently decays into an electron and an electron anti-neutrino. Make others do a double-take at your knowledge of quantum physics with any of these informative gifts!
