Domain-specific¶
- Proton Emission
- Barrier penetrability can make an energetically open state live long enough to be observed as radioactivity
This sourceReviews of Modern Physics, 2012. Pfützner et al. state the condition directly: only when the penetration probability through the barrier — fixed by the decay energy and the angular momentum of the initial state — is large enough does particle emission compete with beta decay and appear as radioactivity. Pfützner et al. draw the contrast explicitly: unbound neutrons feel no Coulomb barrier, only the far weaker centrifugal term, so a system with negative neutron separation energy lives too short to be qualified as radioactive.
