In the beta minus decay of cobalt-60 (Co-60), a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, resulting in the emission of a beta particle (electron) and an antineutrino. The balanced nuclear reaction can be represented as:
[ ^{60}{27}\text{Co} \rightarrow ^{60}{28}\text{Ni} + e^- + \bar{\nu} ]
Here, Co-60 decays into nickel-60 (Ni-60), with the emission of a beta particle (e^-) and an antineutrino (ν̄).
