Energy distribution of electron neutrinos from C-11 through β+ decay (and/or electron capture)

# Energy distribution of electron neutrinos from C-11 through β+ decay (and/or electron capture)

Electron neutrinos are generated from unstable isotope C-11 by β+ decay and/or an electron capture (EC) process. And C-11 decay into B-11.

Carbon 11 (C-11)

Z : 6

A : 11

Half-life : 20.38 minutes

Decay modes

Q-value ~ 1.982 MeV

Product : B-11 (Branching ratio : 100%)
