<Ciro Santilli> finds it interesting that radioactive decay basically kickstarted the domain of <nuclear physics> by essentially providing a natural <particle accelerator> from a chunk of radioactive element.
The discovery process was particularly interesting, including <Henri Becquerel>'s luck while observing <phosphorescence>, and <Marie Curie>'s observation that the <uranium> <ore> were more radioactive than pure uranium, and must therefore contain other even more radioactive substances, which lead to the discovery of <polonium> (<half-life> 138 days) and <radium> (half-life 1600 years).

{parent=Type of radioactive decay}
{wiki}
= Alpha emitter
{synonym}
Most of the <helium> in the <Earth>'s atmosphere comes from alpha decay, since helium is lighter than air and naturally escapes out out of the atmosphere.
Wiki mentions that alpha decay is well modelled as a <quantum tunnelling> event, see also <Geiger-Nuttall law>.
As a result of that law, alpha particles have relatively little energy variation around 5 MeV or a speed of about 5% of the <speed of light> for any element, because the energy is inversely exponentially proportional to <half-life>. This is because:
* if the energy is much larger, decay is very fast and we don't have time to study the <isotope>
* if the energy is much smaller, decay is very rare and we don't have enough events to observe at all

<Uranium> emits them, you can see their mass to charge ratio under magnetic field and so deduce that they are <electrons>.
Caused by <weak interaction> TODO why/how.
The emitted electron kinetic energy is random from zero to a maximum value. The rest goes into a <neutrino>. This is how the neutrino was first discovered/observed indirectly. This is well illustrated in a <decay scheme> such as <image caesium-137 decay scheme>.
= Gamma ray
{parent=Type of radioactive decay}
{wiki}
Most commonly known as a byproduct <radioactive decay>.
Their energy is very high compared example to more common radiation such as <visible spectrum>, and there is a neat reason for that: it's because the <strong force> that binds <nuclei> is strong so transitions lead to large energy changes.
A <decay scheme> such as <image caesium-137 decay scheme> illustrates well how gamma radiation happens as a byproduct of <radioactive decay> due to the existence of <nuclear isomer>.
Gamma rays are pretty cool as they give us insight into the energy levels/different configurations of the nucleus.
They have also been used as early sources of high energy particles for <particle physics> experiments before the development of <particle accelerators>, serving a similar purpose to <cosmic rays> in those early days.
But <gamma rays> they were more convenient in some cases because you could more easily manage them inside a <laboratory> rather than have to go climb some bloody mountain or a <balloon>.
The <positron> for example was first observed on <cosmic rays>, but better confirmed in <gamma ray> experiments by <Carl David Anderson>.

The <half-life> of <radioactive decay>, which as discovered a few years before <quantum mechanics> was discovered and matured, was a major mystery. Why do some nuclei fission in apparently random fashion, while others don't? How is the state of different nuclei different from one another? This is mentioned in <Inward Bound by Abraham Pais (1988)> Chapter 6.e Why a half-life?
The term also sees use in other areas, notably <biology>, where e.g. <RNAs> spontaneously decay as part of the <cell>'s <control system>, see e.g. mentions in <E. Coli Whole Cell Model by Covert Lab>.

* send <radio waves> into sample to make nucleons go to upper energy level. We can see that the energy difference is small since we are talking about radio waves, low frequency.
* when nucleon goes back down, it re-emits radio waves, and we detect that. TODO: how do we not get that confused with the input wave, which is presumably at the same frequency? It appears to send pulses, and then wait for the response.
