yes, but you will get much better answers if you first google for "beta decay", read what's already out there, and then come back with specific questions about whatever parts you need help with. We're very good at working people through hard spots, but a forum thread isn't a good place to start on an overview of a topic.

Depending on your specific question, any of "general", "High Energy and Particle", or this one might be right. When you have a more focused question, it'll probably be clearer where it should go... and it's no big deal moving a thread if it evolves into a subject more appropriate for a different section.
