Double Beta Decay

Double Beta Decay is a rare type of radioactive decay process in which two neutrons in a nucleus simultaneously undergo beta decay, transforming into two protons and emitting two electrons and two antineutrinos, distinguished from single beta decay by the concurrent transformation of two nucleons.
