In beta decay into a proton

In beta decay, either a neutron is converted into a proton, and the atomic number rises, or the opposite occurs, pushing the atomic number down.

radioactive beta decay

The neutron explained radioactive beta decay as a process in which a neutron decays into a proton, an electron, and an electron antineutrino.

electron capture

In Electron capture The nucleus may capture an orbiting electron, causing a proton to convert into a neutron in a process called electron capture.

into a proton or vice versa

A neutron in the nucleus transforms into a proton or vice versa, releasing a beta particle (an electron or positron) in the process.

via inverse beta decay

Inside a nucleus, a proton can transform into a neutron via inverse beta decay, if an energetically allowed quantum state is available for the neutron.

Both beta decays

Both beta decays also turn a neutron into a proton.

by emission of a positron

Beta decay of a neutron transforms it into a proton by the emission of an electron, or conversely a proton is converted into a neutron by the emission of a positron, changing the nuclide type.

into a proton, electron and (the antimatter counterpart of the neutrino antineutrino

When an atom undergoes one type of beta decay, a neutron inside its nucleus spontaneously transforms into a proton, electron and antineutrino (the antimatter counterpart of the neutrino); in a type of inverse beta decay, the neutron absorbs a neutrino and morphs into a proton and electron.

Natural Beta decay (the emission of an electron from an atom’s nucleus)

Natural Beta decay (the emission of an electron from an atom’s nucleus) would then convert the neutron into a proton.

from one to the other in a series of processes involving neutrinos and antineutrinos

First, neutrons and protons convert from one to the other in a series of processes involving neutrinos and antineutrinos.
