Abstract
The article presents the pole model of radiocarbon decay process. When using this model it is assumed that there is a pair bond in the form of an individual pole axis between proton and electron. This bond can change the tilt angle relative to the generalized axis, with increasing energy. Increase of the tilt angle of the pole axis is accompanied by increase of its energy, this process is interrelated with energy state of the paired electron. With increasing energy of the paired bond the energy of the electron decreases and it occupies the energy level located closer to the nucleus. At critical increase of energy of the pole axis it will deflect to the maximum angle, the electron takes the position located in the maximum proximity to the nucleus, which leads to the connection with the paired proton and formation of the neutron. The analysis of the decay process illustration is carried out. This article describes the β-decay process using pole models.
Highlights
Of all natural elements of the periodic table, carbon has a special role - it forms the structural basis of organic compounds, including those in living organisms
At a critical increase of the pole axis energy, the electron, having fully released the energy, occupies a position that is in maximum proximity to the nucleus
It can be concluded that in each of the presented pole models, beta decay leads to a change in the valence of the daughter nitrogen atom, which may cause disruption in the system in which the radiocarbon atom is located
Summary
Of all natural elements of the periodic table, carbon has a special role - it forms the structural basis of organic compounds, including those in living organisms. At an altitude of 8 - 18 km nuclei of nitrogen interact with secondary nuclides of cosmic radiation by the reaction 14N (n, р) 14С. The role of other reactions such as 15N (n, α) 14С,16О (р, 3р) 14С,17О (n, α) 14С,13C (n, γ) 14С in the formation of carbon-14 is insignificant because of the small cross-sections of interaction and low content of the nuclei of these isotopes in the natural mixture of elements [1]. Since carbon-14 is radioactive, it has a half-life of 5730 years, it is unstable and constantly transforms into nitrogen-14 atoms from which it was formed.
