Nitrogen-13 Beta-Plus Decay Diagram - Nuclear Physics Visualization #3893021 (License: Personal Use)

The diagram illustrates the beta-plus (β⁺) decay process where a proton in the nitrogen-13 nucleus converts into a neutron, emitting a positron (β⁺) and an electron neutrino (ν). The resulting nucleus is carbon-13, with atomic number reduced from 7 to 6 while mass number remains 13. Red spheres represent protons (+), green spheres neutrons (0), and the orange burst symbolizes emitted radiation.

Used in educational materials on nuclear reactions, medical physics (e.g., PET scan isotopes), and astrophysics courses. Matches user intent for understanding radioactive decay mechanisms, isotope transformations, or preparing teaching resources.
