Beta Plus Decay can produce positrons
B+ decay occurs when energy is applied to a proton, and the resulting
interaction causes the proton to convert into a neutron and a positron. The
neutron remains captured in the nucleus, while the positron is ejected,
sometimes at high speed. Note that B+ decay
Well spotted Lou, and yes it is particularly intriguing. A couple of
pointers.
First, describing it as an after glow is potentially misleading, in that
it is not necessarily after anything. It is something that is seen at
and around the time when lightning occurs, but can be seen when there
Thanks, Nigel
A very good reference. There are certainly lots of variables to consider.
I've only perused it, but I found the long (- 50 minute half-life)
gamma/x-ray after-glow (described on pp.24-5) particularly intriguing.
I haven't had time to look into the lab spark experiments cited, but i
Guys,
Just a quick update on my expanding theory. As I have mentioned before ,
it basically says that most severe low pressure systems are triggered by
energetic dark matter particles orbiting above and below Earth in a
decaying 2-body Kepler, closed string orbit (M theory). Dark Matter
particle
Lou, the answer is, its complicated, but very interesting and conditions
can be recreated in the lab, and the guy who knows all about this is Joe
Dwyer. He has done an excellent review

You also get gamma rays, and he has shown that these a
Nigel,
Thanks for spreading that information. It is a surprising phenomenon.
I believe some lightning generates neutrons and positrons, but some does not.
Do you know what the conditions produce neutrons/positrons?
Also, whether these conditions can be replicated in the lab?

And I think I may be able to claim responsibility for the inclusion of
the paragraph about neutron release in thunderstorms, given my
discussions over the last couple of years with John Swain.
