Beta radiation from linac accelerators is far more energetic and penetrating than natural beta radiation.

Beta radiation, consisting of electron s or positron s, is halted by an aluminum plate.

Beta sources can be used in radiation therapy to kill cancer cells.

Beta is often used to denote a variable in mathematics and physics, where it often has specific meanings for certain applications, such as representing beta radiation.

This unit is quite sensitive and can be used to measure low levels of Gamma radiation and detect Beta radiation.

* Nuclei that predominantly absorb neutrons and then emit Beta particle radiation lead to these isotopes, e. g., Th-232 absorbs a neutron and becomes Th-233 *, which emits a Beta particle and becomes Pa-233, which emits another Beta particle to become U-233.

Milton Caniff offered another anecdote ( from Phi Beta Pogo, 1989 ) involving Capp and Walt Kelly, " two boys from Bridgeport, Connecticut, nose to nose ," onstage at a meeting of the Newspaper Comics Council in the sixties.

In that special case, the prior and posterior distributions were Beta distributions and the data came from Bernoulli trials.

Beta Crucis, called Mimosa, is a blue-hued giant of magnitude 1. 3, 353 light-years from Earth.

Alpha Centauri, one of the closest stars to the Sun, has a high proper motion ; it will be a mere half-degree from Beta Centauri in approximately 4000 years.

Beta Chamaeleontis is a blue-white hued star of magnitude 4. 2, 27 light-years from Earth.

The main asterism in Delphinus is Job's Coffin, formed from the four brightest stars: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta Delphini.

Beta Fornacis is a yellow-hued giant star of magnitude 4. 5, 169 light-years from Earth.

Beta Gruis is a red giant variable star with a minimum magnitude of 2. 3 and a maximum magnitude of 2. 0 ; it is 170 light-years from Earth.

She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Vassar in 1928 with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics and earned her Master's degree at Yale University in 1930.

Beta Hydri, the brightest star in Hydrus, is a yellow star of magnitude 2. 8, 24 light-years from Earth.

Over a long time, Jews formed distinct ethnic groups in several different geographic areas — amongst others, the Ashkenazi Jews ( of central and Eastern Europe ), the Sephardi Jews ( of Spain, Portugal, and North Africa ), the Beta Israel of Ethiopia, and the Yemenite Jews from the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.

Like his older brother, Davis Rich Dewey, he attended the University of Vermont, from which he graduated ( Phi Beta Kappa ) in 1879.

Beta Leporis, called Nihal, is a yellow giant of magnitude 2. 8, 159 light-years from Earth.

* Silvereyes is, at the time of Ringworld, the furthest Human world from Earth ( 21. 3 light-years, 60 days at Quantum-I hyperdrive speeds ), orbiting Beta Hydri.

Often referred to as the " Dhak Dhak Girl ", she is famous for her dance in the song " Dhak Dhak Karne Laga " from the film Beta.

By the time Miles Vorkosigan is 20, in The Vor Game, Beta Colony has begun to develop garments which protect the wearer from nerve disruptors.

Aral Vorkosigan meets Cordelia Naismith, a nominal enemy from Beta Colony, at the commencement of another war.

* Beta reduction, the rewriting of an expression from lambda calculus into a simpler form

He graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BA in physics and mathematics from Grinnell College in 1949.

Beta particles are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei such as potassium-40.

Beta plus ( or positron ) decay of a radioactive tracer isotope is the source of the positrons used in positron emission tomography ( PET scan ).

* Electron capture detector ( ECD ), which uses a radioactive Beta particle ( electron ) source to measure the degree of electron capture.

* Beta decay

Beta decay

Beta decay commonly occurs among the neutron-rich fission byproducts produced in nuclear reactors.

Beta plus decay can only happen inside nuclei when the absolute value of the binding energy of the daughter nucleus is higher than that of the mother nucleus.

Beta decay is the release of a beta particle, a high-energy electron.

* Beta decay is an example of an interaction due to the exchange of a W boson, but not an example of a force.

Beta decay occurs when the nucleus emits an electron or positron and a type of neutrino, in a process that changes a proton to a neutron or the other way around.

# REDIRECT Beta decay

In particle physics, Fermi's interaction ( also the Fermi Theory of Beta Decay ) is an explanation of the beta decay, proposed by Enrico Fermi in 1933.

# REDIRECT Beta decay

Beta decay, as always in this process, also produces an antineutrino, which carries off variable amounts of the beta decay energy.

Beta decay of fission products of mass 95-98 stops at the stable isotopes of molybdenum of those masses and does not reach technetium.
