Nuclear Decay

Interaction Codes
Code Description
t*1000000 + 101000 Beta decay of target t
t*1000000 + 103000 Beta gamma decay of target t
t*1000000 + 104000 Alpha decay of target t

The generator can simulate the radioactive decay of a number of nuclei. For each nucleus the decay scheme is stored in an MCDS bank. So the simplest way to determine what decay schemes are currently supported is to see what MCDS banks exist. The banks should also be consulted to see what approximations, if any, have been used.
