The negatron or negative beta particle ... will travel through matter until it has completely dissipated its kinetic energy via ionization, electron excitation, or bremsstrahlung. 1, record 1, English, - negatron
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The negatron has the same mass and charge as an electron, but differs from the latter in its origin; the negatron is ejected from the nucleus whereas the electron is in the electron cloud. They are therefore not synonyms. 2, record 1, English, - negatron

La conservation de la charge électrique lors de la désintégration implique qu’en plus du proton, il y a création d’un négaton (électron chargé négativement) appelé rayonnement β-. 5, record 1, French, - n%C3%A9gaton
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Bien que très similaires sur le plan des propriétés(masse, rayon, charge, etc.), le négaton et l'électron ne sont pas synonymes. Le négaton est éjecté du noyau, alors que l'électron se trouve dans le cortège électronique. 4, record 1, French, - n%C3%A9gaton

La conversion interne est un mode de désexcitation des noyaux d’atomes, produits dans des états discrets d’énergies supérieures à celle de leur minimum(niveau fondamental), en compétition directe avec l'émission de rayonnements électromagnétiques «gamma». Chaque transition entre deux niveaux d’énergies distinctes correspond soit à l'émission d’un rayonnement gamma, soit à celle d’un électron «de conversion», processus dans lequel l'énergie d’excitation du noyau est directement transférée à un électron du cortège électronique. Cette énergie, si elle surmonte l'énergie de liaison de l'électron, permet son expulsion de l'atome. 2, record 2, French, - conversion%20interne

The optical set-up for laser cooling of the atoms is standard so the reader is referred to our earlier publications for details. The atom cloud was monitored using two infra-red sensitive cameras positioned in the same, horizontal, plane. This allowed accurate monitoring of the position of the atom cloud which was vital in insuring proper overlap of the electron beam with the trapped atoms. 3, record 3, English, - atom%20cloud
