A beta particle, also called beta ray or beta radiation, (symbol β) is a high-energy, high-speedelectron or positron emitted by the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus during the process of betadecay.
 
Beta minus particles (β-) are electrons from the nucleus and are ejected by some radionuclides during a form of radioactive decay called beta-decay. ... In beta minus decay, the change in an atomic nucleus will release an electron, and in beta plus decay, the nuclear change will release a positron.
