Energy distribution of electron neutrinos from O-15 through β+ decay (and/or electron capture)

# Energy distribution of electron neutrinos from O-15 through β+ decay (and/or electron capture)

Electron neutrinos are generated from unstable isotope O-15 by β+ decay and/or an electron capture (EC) process. And O-15 decay into N-15.

Oxygen 15 (O-15)

Z : 8

A : 15

Half-life : 2.037 minutes

Decay modes

Q-value ~ 2.754 MeV

Product : N-15 (Branching ratio : 100%)
