1Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics ADas and TFerbel 2http wwwsouthamptonacukab1u06teachingphys3002course07alphapdf Alpha Decay we have seen before a decay represents the disintegration of a parent to a daughter through the emission of the nucleus of a helium atom the transition can be characterized as . Chapter 25. Marie Curie was a Polish scientist whose research led to many discoveries about radiation and radioactive elements. In 1934 she died from leukemia caused by her long-term exposure to radiation. You will learn about the various types of radiation and their effects.. Knowledge of subatomic particles has led to many advancements- unfortunately besides the advancements in power plants there has been costs-nuclear warfare and waste. Nuclear Decay. The nucleus-cluster of protons and neutrons-is in the centre of an atom. Charles Perrow, Emeritus Professor, Yale University.
