Decay product — The decay chain from lead 212 down to lead 208, showing the intermediate decay products. In nuclear physics, a decay product (also known as a daughter product, daughter isotope or daughter nuclide) is the remaining nuclide left over from… … Wikipedia
Type Ia supernova — A Type Ia supernova is a sub category of cataclysmic variable stars that results from the violent explosion of a white dwarf star. A white dwarf is the remnant of a star that has completed its normal life cycle and has ceased nuclear fusion.… … Wikipedia

gamma decay — Type of radioactivity in the most common form of which an unstable atomic nucleus dissipates energy by gamma emission, producing gamma rays. Gamma decay also includes two other processes, internal conversion and internal pair production. In… … Universalium
Double beta decay — is a radioactive decay process where a nucleus releases two beta rays as a single process. In double beta decay, two neutrons in the nucleus are converted to protons, and two electrons and two electron antineutrinos are emitted. In the process of … Wikipedia
Particle decay — is the spontaneous process of one elementary particle transforming into other elementary particles. During this process, an elementary particle becomes a different particle with less mass and an intermediate particle such as W boson in muon decay … Wikipedia
