Would someone please tell me how I would show Strontium-90 decay into Yttrium 90(and emitting Beta particles)? Would I need to use a Feynman diagram? Thank you!

Thanks! That is what i had hypothesized.

Hello! I am participating in a STEM fair(I am a middle schooler), and my scientific question is : Does the angle of the particle trails increase from beta decay when you introduce an electromagnetic influence? I have been at a loss for finding a helpful site. The ones that I have come...

Thank you, I completely understand where you are coming from. Thank you for telling me the reality, because that helps me more. l will remember to keep my eyes open to all the other careers science has to offer!

Career Prospects as a Pysicist Hello! I am only going into 8th grade, so my knowledge of having a career as a physicist is very limited. From what I do know, is that most people who get a PhD in physics are not unemployed. I understand not wanting to teach, since you have PhD and all the...

I am currently in 8th grade. Particle physics fascinates me, and I would like to know ways to get on this career path. Working at LHC/CERN is all I think about. Recommended books, high school programs, extra curricular activities, colleges, internships, and websites would be very helpful for...

Book recommendation I enjoyed reading some of Michio Kaku's books, and I recently read The Particle at the End of the Universe, by Sean Carroll. I am currently reading The Fabric of the Cosmos, by Brian Greene. I am in 8th grade and could comprehend these books. Hope this helps.
