inverse beta-decay

subject fact

inverse beta-decay has definition The relatively rare process p + vbar → n + e⁺. Free-electron capture (e + p → n + v) is sometimes called inverse β-decay in astrophysics. has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:29:40.0
