| 21. | By changing the number of protons, double electron capture transforms the nuclide into a new element.
|
| 22. | It is also used in Electron capture detector in gas chromatography for the detection mainly of halogens.
|
| 23. | Positron emission and electron capture also increase the ratio, while beta decay will decrease the ratio.
|
| 24. | When the Chandrasekhar limit is reached, that indicates that electron capture has become a feasible process.
|
| 25. | Other sources may also include beta decay from cobalt-60 and electron capture from copper-60.
|
| 26. | It decays by positron emission 97 % of the time and electron capture 3 % of the time.
|
| 27. | At a certain point, they move so fast that instead the pressure drives them to electron capture.
|
| 28. | These contain strontium-82, which decays by electron capture to produce positron-emitting rubidium-82.
|
| 29. | Note that in the case of electron capture, bremsstrahlung is emitted even though no charged particle is emitted.
|
| 30. | In electron capture, an electron " merges " with a proton in the nucleus to form a neutron.
