[For example, **beta decay of a neutron** transforms it into a proton by the emission of an electron accompanied by an antineutrino; or, conversely a proton is converted into a neutron by the emission of a positron with a neutrino in so-called positron emission](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_decay)

- Fermi beta decay theory, highlighting its analogies with the spectroscopic theory

and the similarity of the formalism with the modern electroweak theory.

which is **compared with the emission of a photon by an atomic electron** that decays from an excited state to a lower energetic level
