How Far Can Gravity Particles Go?

Let's look at radioactive decays with emission of nucleons from a gravity particles perspective.  Much of this is taken from the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay.

1.   Alpha decay:

An alpha particle (A = 4, Z = 2) emitted from nucleus (A − 4, Z − 2)

A \(g^{-}\) particle is ejected from the nucleus by a \(P_{g^-}\) photon, which weakens the gravitational hold on the alpha particle.  The alpha particle is emitted and the photon recaptured as a \(g^{-}\) particle.

2.   Proton emission:

A proton ejected from nucleus (A − 1, Z − 1)

A \(p^{+}\), \((g_{-},\,g^{+})\) or \((T^{-},\,T^{+})\) group is ejected from the nucleus.

3.   Neutron emission:

A neutron ejected from nucleus (A − 1, Z)

A \(g^{-}\) or \(T^{+}\) particle is ejected but the ejecting photon is not recaptured.

4.   Double proton emission: 

Two protons ejected from nucleus simultaneously (A − 2, Z − 2)

Two \(p^{+}\), \((g_{-},\,g^{+})\) or \((T^{-},\,T^{+})\) groups are ejected from the nucleus.

5.   Spontaneous fission:

Nucleus disintegrates into two or more smaller nuclei and other particles

\(g^{-}\) particle(s) being ejected results in a weaken negative gravity potential at the nucleus.

6.   Cluster decay:

Nucleus emits a specific type of smaller nucleus (A1, Z1) which is larger than an alpha particle.  (A − A1, Z − Z1) + (A1, Z1)

\(g^{-}\) particle(s) being ejected results in a weaken negative gravity potential at the nucleus.

A photon recapture is key, when the nucleus does not change mass number and with the emission of gamma rays in this mode of radioactive decay.
