fermi theory of beta decay

The Fermi theory of beta decay is a theoretical explanation that describes how atomic nuclei undergo radioactive decay by emitting beta particles (electrons or positrons). It proposes that this decay is due to the weak nuclear force and involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton or vice versa, along with the emission of an electron or positron and a neutrino or antineutrino.
