1. Transition energy is the amount of energy released in a nuclear decay.

2. Hydrogen-3 (tritium) decay, Carbon-14 decay, Cobalt-60 decay

3. (beta^-,gamma) decay is beta decay followed by gamma decay. An example is Pa-235 -> U-235* -> U-235.

4. An isomeric transition is a nuclear transition from a metastable state to a lower energy ...
