Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus and provide most of the mass of the atom, while electrons circle the nucleus in shells and subshells and account for an atom’s size. There are three main forms of radioactive emissions and are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.

The most common types of radioactivity are α decay, β decay, γ emission, positron emission, and electron capture. Nuclear reactions also often involve γ rays, and some nuclei decay by electron capture. Each of these modes of decay leads to the formation of a new stable nuclei sometimes via multiple decays before ending in a stable isotope. All nuclear decay processes follow first-order kinetics and each radioisotope has its own half-life.

In the interest of mathematical simplicity we will not attempt to model any particular alpha emitter, but just try to capture the essentials of the quantum mechanical tunneling mechanism for alpha decay that was formulated by Gamov, Gurney and Condon in 1928.
