Energy distribution of electron neutrinos from O-14 through β+ decay (and/or electron capture)

# Energy distribution of electron neutrinos from O-14 through β+ decay (and/or electron capture)

Electron neutrinos are generated from unstable isotope O-14 by β+ decay and/or an electron capture (EC) process. And O-14 decay into N-14.

Oxygen 14 (O-14)

Z : 8

A : 14

Half-life : 1.176 minutes

Decay modes

Q-value ~ 5.143 MeV

Product : N-14 (Branching ratio : 100%)
