One more question (I'm wary I'm totally spamming the forum!).. its in reference to the decay of Cr to V, see attached files.
The decay is clearly beta plus decay.
p->n+positron+antineutrino
The question asks to determine the neutrino spectrum. Now the energy of the neutrino is simply the mass difference between the {original state} and {the GS of the final state PLUS the rest mass energy of a positron}.
Why on Earth is the question talking about a K shell electron? I also attach the solution to the problem. It doesn't take into account mass of the positron when calculating the energy of the neutrino: Why?
