Beta Decay for Pedestrians from light in telescopes toThe "pedestrian approach" was developed to describe some essentially simple experimental results and their theoretical implications in plain language. In this graduate level text, Harry J. Lipkin presents simply, but without oversimplification, the aspects of beta decay that can be understood without reference to the formal theory; that is, the reactions that follow directly from conservation laws and elementary quantum mechanics. The pedestrian
