摘要

The scientific discovery of radioactivity unlocked a new era in the fields of medicine, agriculture, environment, industry, and electricity generation. To develop a fundamental understanding on how radioactivity and radiation contribute to these different domains, this chapter provides an overview of several radioactive processes such as decay by alpha, beta, gamma emission, internal conversion, electron capture, and spontaneous neutron fission, as well as the various radiation quantities and their units.
