Proton emission

Nuclear processes

Radioactive decay processes Alpha decay Beta decay Electron capture Gamma radiation Neutron emission Positron emission Proton emission Spontaneous fission Nucleosynthesis Neutron Capture The R-process The S-process Proton capture: The P-process

Proton emission is a type of radioactive decay in which a proton is simply ejected from the nucleus. Example isotopes which emit protons are Li-5 and N-11.
