Energy distribution of electron neutrinos from N-12 through β+ decay (and/or electron capture)

# Energy distribution of electron neutrinos from N-12 through β+ decay (and/or electron capture)

Electron neutrinos are generated from unstable isotope N-12 by β+ decay and/or an electron capture (EC) process. And N-12 decay into C-12.

Nitrogen 12 (N-12)

Z : 7

A : 12

Half-life : 11 millisecond

Decay modes

Q-value ~ 17.338 MeV

Product : C-12 (Branching ratio : 100%)
