In dictionaries:
radioactive decay
Spontaneous disintegration of unstable nuclei.
decay rate

tooth decay
Deterioration of enamel causing cavities.
decay time
Duration for substance to halve.
exponential decay
Decrease rapidly at constant proportion.
beta decay
Neutron transforms into proton, electron.

Urban decay
(also known as urban rot, urban death or urban blight) the sociological process by which a previously functioning city, or part of a city, falls into disrepair and decrepitude.
dental decay
Deterioration of tooth structure, cavities.
alpha decay
Nucleus emits helium nucleus spontaneously.
decay series
Sequential transformation of radioactive isotopes.
decay mode

Proton decay
In particle physics, proton decay is a hypothetical form of particle decay in which the proton decays into lighter subatomic particles, such as a neutral pion and a positron.
decay product
Resultant substance from radioactive disintegration.
