- Lecture 91: Modeling Polonium-212 Decay
Description:
In this video I will find the probability for a radioactive element polonium-212 with a half-life of 0.3 micro-second for an alpha-particle to leave the nucleus, where the alpha-particle with an energy level E=8.78MeV have to leave a potential barrier of V0=26.4MeV.
