1. Alpha Decay

   Linked via "nuclear energy states"

   Emission Characteristics and Spectroscopy
   Alpha particles are emitted with discrete kinetic energies characteristic of the specific transition between the initial and final nuclear energy states. Unlike the continuous energy spectra observed in beta decay, the discrete nature of alpha energies is a direct spectroscopic signature of the underlying quantum transitions.
