Hi,
Radioactive materials will decay to datughter products. in the mean process they emit alpha or beta particles with some energy and then decay to new products. In my problem i am just observing U(238) decay process. I need to find the energy values for each decay and also i need explanations about peaks. I am going to give you the pictorial represenation of decay(X-axis(channels) and y-axis(counts)). May be i am wrong with the given parent product but it is defnitely of U peaks wether it belongs 238 or 232. I am sure that it is about U(238).

Any way i need to know that hoe we can calculate the energy relese in the process each decay.

see the attachments for picture.

According to wikipedia's article on U238, the alpha decay process yields 4.267 MeV. Hope that helps.
 
its ok now, i am not satisfied with the answer. Friend, I got the answer and skip this by the way.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
