In these cases, proton radiation appears with the half-life of the beta transition. The combination of high positron-decay energy and low proton-binding energy in the daughter ground state is required. In the example given below, tellurium-111 (111Te) yields antimony-111 (111Sb) and then tin-110 (110Sn) successively:
