A Curious Aspect of the Atomic Ionization Process Caused by Nuclear Decay
Abstract
When the nucleus of an atom decays by emitting an a particle, the surrounding electrons are perturbed and the atom may be ionized. Practically all calculations so far done for this ionization process are based on Migdal’s method in which the a particle is treated as a classical point charge that is emitted by the nucleus at a certain time. Migdal’s method yields the ionization probability that is in reasonable agreement with experiment. We …
