Science

Which mechanism accelerates radioactive decay in particle accelerators?

A)Electron capture probability increases
B)Spontaneous fission barrier decreases
C)Nucleon binding energy increases
D)Resonance frequency destabilizes nuclei

💡 Explanation

Electron capture drives promoted decay of certain accelerated isotopes because electron density near the nucleus is artificially increased. Therefore, electron capture becomes more favorable, rather than alterations to fission barriers or binding forces.
