The parent nucleus decays via particle emission (or
capture) to one or another of several excited states
of the daughter nucleus. The daughter then decays
to a lower excited state or to the ground state by
gamma emission. Gamma emission alters nuclear
angular momentum and parity, J(pi), but not nucleon
number or proton number, (A, Z).
