Very interesting paper. Of course, I don't understand all of it, but I'm beginning to get a vague idea of how it works.

Ha.. that's what I've ended up using. It'll be more likely to beta decay the more neutrons there are. I even managed to have the electrons be particles and calculate whether it gets trapped in the nucleus. I'm pretty much ironing out some details though.. I'm not sure my sim is very accurate...

Well.. what exactly makes a nucleus with too high a neutron:proton ratio unstable?

By "control," I meant a somewhat correct way to determine when beta-decay should occur. I've also used hyperphysics before.. great website.

Nuclear Simulation- Beta Decay ?? Hi, I'm a high school sophomore, I'm having trouble finding a suitable trigger for beta decay in my nuclear simulation (for fun) :confused: :cry: :confused: . I have the strong force and electromagnetic forces all set but I've run into the problem of atoms...
