I notice they show significant acceleration of the alphas, which is not something I've ever thought about before.Julian Hammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02671197191875888004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767229103675453328.post-36816944389756801992010-06-10T05:33:21.209-07:002010-06-10T05:33:21.209-07:00Interesting post.

They come up near the top if you google 'alpha decay simulation' or 'beta decay simulation' or you can just google 'phet'. <br /><br />http://phet.colorado.edu/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
