define negatron emission
excessive num n or high n/p, result fission, beta minus decay
high n/p results in this decay
beta minus or negatron
particle responsible for cont spectrum in beta decay
neutrino/antineutrino
Low n/p ratio results in this decay
Positron emission, beta plus decay
define electron capture
orbital electron captured by nucleus, transforming proton to neutron
The electron capture decay competes with this decay
Positron decay
Electron decay used to change n/p how?
To increase this ratio
this decay follows electron capture and why
gamma decay, release of excess energy
shell most involved in electron capture and why
K shell, closest to nucleus

Auger electrons
Describe Auger electrons
Internal PE effect, monoenergetic e produced when electrons cascade lower orbits

Skin dose increases with decreasing
SSD, energy
Compared with 6 MeV electrons, superficial x-rays... negatives
have higher skin dose, more dose to tissue
Compared with 6 MeV electrons, superficial x-rays... positives
require less shielding, sharper penumbra
