Bateman equation
text:
In nuclear physics, the Bateman equation is a mathematical model describing abundances and activities in a decay chain as a function of time, based on the decay rates and initial abundances. The model was formulated by Ernest Rutherford in 1905 and the analytical solution was provided by Harry Bateman in 1910. If, at time t, there are N i atoms of isotope i that decays into isotope i + 1 at the rate λ i , the amounts of isotopes in the k-step decay chain evolves as:. While this can be solved exp
