Nucleus metastable

Nuclei formed from inert gas particles require less superheat in the liquid than do homogeneous nuclei. A metastable nucleus is one with a radius described by the modified Laplace equation. 

N + l Z = Z — 1 A = A, emission of electron this involves the weak force). There is also internal conversion, from a metastable nucleus to a more stable nucleus with no particle emission. Very useful is a wall chart of all nuclides developed by the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory of the General Electric Company in the 1950s and subsequently updated often (Appendix, Table A) [6]. 

In Ref. [18], we have presented a generalized energy approach in the relativistic theory of discharge of a metastable nucleus with emission of y quantum and further muon conversion, which initiates this discharge. The numerical calculation...

Often gamma emission occurs very quickly after radioactive decay. In some cases, however, an excited state has significant hfetime before it emits a gamma photon. A metastable nucleus is a nucleus in an excited state with a lifetime of at least one nanosecond (10 s). In time, the metastable nucleus decays by gamma emission. An example is metastable technetium-99, denoted which... 

The nucleus Tc is a metastable nucleus of technetium-99 it is used in medical diagnostic work. Technetium-99/w decays by emitting ganama rays. A 2.5-fig (microgram) sample has an activity of 13 Ci. What is the decay constant (in units of /s) ... 

Neutron activation analysis is an analysis of elements in a sample based on the conversion of stable isotopes to radioactive isotopes by bombarding a sample with neutrons. Hnman hair contains trace amonnts of many elements. By determining the exact amoimts and the position of the elements in the hair shaft, you can identify whom the hair comes from (assiuning yon have a sample known to be that pCTSon s hair for comparison). Consider the analysis of human hair for arsenic, for example. When the natural isotope As is bombarded with neutrons, a metastable nucleus 3f"As is obtained.
