Polyphony and monophony in instruments harpejji and the Chapman stick). Multiphonics can be used with many regular wind instruments to produce two or more notes at once, although this is considered an extended technique. Explicitly polyphonic wind instruments are relatively rare, but do exist. The standard harmonica can easily produce several notes at once. Multichambered ocarinas are manufactured in a number of varieties, including double, triple, and quadruple ocarinas, which use multiple chambers to extend the ocarina's otherwise limited range, but also enable the musician to play more than one note simultaneously. Harmonic ocarinas are specifically designed for polyphony, and in these instruments the range
Double beta decay or double beta decay are predicted to be very long; hence, quadruple beta decay is unlikely to be realized. The eight candidate nuclei for quadruple beta decay include Zr, Xe, and Nd capable of quadruple beta-minus decay, and Xe, Ba, Gd, and Dy capable of quadruple beta-plus decay or electron capture. In theory, quadruple beta decay may be experimentally observable in three of these nuclei, with the most promising candidate being Nd. Double beta decay In nuclear physics, double beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which two neutrons are simultaneously transformed into two protons, or vice versa,
