Beta decay

| beta particle is emitted from an atomic nucleus

Compton scattering

| scattering of a photon by a charged particle

Neutrino-less double beta decay

| If neutrinos are Majorana fermions (that is, their own antiparticle), Neutrino-less double beta decay is possible. Several experiments are searching for this.

Pair production and annihilation

| In the Stückelberg–Feynman interpretation, pair annihilation is the same process as pair production

Flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC)
