Beta Particle Definition: An electron or positron. The term is generally applied to an electron or positron emitted in radioactive beta decay.
Beta radiation, consisting of electrons or positrons, is halted by an aluminum plate. Gamma radiation is damped by lead. Beta particles are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei, such as potassium-40. The beta particles emitted are a form of ionizing radiation also known as beta rays. The production of beta particles is termed beta decay. They are designated by the Greek letter beta (Î²). There are two forms of beta decay, Î² â and Î² + , which respectively give rise to the electron and the positron.
