Disintegrations per second
The number of atomic nuclei that decay in one second.
History: A descriptive name for the rate of radioactive decay.
Current use: Used in physics and chemistry to describe activity directly.
Also written as dps, disintegrations per second.
Becquerel
One becquerel is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second.
History: Named after Henri Becquerel, who shared a Nobel Prize with Pierre and Marie Curie for their work in discovering radioactivity.
Current use: The standard international unit for radioactivity in medicine, science, and industry.
Also written as Bq, becquerels.
