61Decay heat — RTG pellet glowing red because of the heat generated by the radioactive decay of plutonium 238 dioxide, after a thermal isolation test. Decay heat is the heat released as a result of radioactive decay. This is when the radiation interacts with… …
62Decay scheme — The Decay scheme of a radioactive substance is a graphical presentation of all the transitions occurring in a decay, and of their relationships. Decay schemes of radioactive isotopes Decay scheme of 60Co These relations can be quite complicated;… …
63Decay-accelerating factor — CD55 molecule, decay accelerating factor for complement (Cromer blood group) PDB rendering based on 1h03 …
64Decay energy — Nuclear physics Radioactive decay Nuclear fission Nuclear fusion Classical decays …
65Decay 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… …
66Decay (comics) — This article is about the Marvel Comics villain and member of the Acolytes. For the member of the Exemplars, see Decay (Exemplar). For the DC Comics character, see Decay (DC Comics). Decay Publication information …
67decay constant — Physics. the reciprocal of the decay time. Also called decay rate, disintegration constant. [1930 35] * * * ▪ nuclear physics proportionality between the size of a population of radioactive atoms and the rate at which the population… …
68decay constant — noun : the constant ratio of the number of radioactive atoms disintegrating in any specified short unit interval of time to the total number of atoms of the same kind still intact at the beginning of that interval * * * Physics. the reciprocal of …
69decay time — 1. a unit of relative time used in physics. Decay time is similar to half life, but shorter and less familiar. It is the time required for an exponentially decaying process (such as radioactivity) to decrease to 1/e = 36.7879% of its original… …
70decay analysis — Statistical analysis of the rate of attrition. Decay analysis is used to analyze historical volatility of core deposit volumes, specifically rates for withdrawals and account closures. Deposit decay rates should be calculated by tracking a… …
