I have just noticed that the nuclei with Z slightly greater than N have a peculiar pattern of b+ decay. Do someone know if this is justified from the Pauli Term of Weizsaecker formula?
Just I hope I have not found another unknown phenomena :-)
[EDITED:] The phenomena is more apparent for Z=N+1, but just for these nuclei the Pauli Term [tex]{(N-Z)^2\over A}[/tex] is zero, and only the EM term [tex]Z^2/A^{1/3}[/tex] contributes to decay energy.
