Abstract
This paper deals with the study of new beta-decay acceleration mechanisms. Estimations have proved that there is a real possibility for stimulated beta-decay detection. The required laser intensity has been achieved by now. The mechanism under discussion may be characterized as the opposite process of K-electron capture. This paper makes an essential distinction between the above-mentioned mechanism and other beta-decay acceleration mechanisms.
