C3. A Rubidium nucleus undergoes the electron capture as given by 33Rb + e¯ → AXN+Y.
Assume the electron came from the K-shell of Rubidium and K-edge is 15.2 keV. Given that
the mass of neutral atom 33Rb is 82.9151106u, and the mass of neutral atom 4XN is
82.9141360u.
(a) Determine the values of A, Z and N.
(b) Given the name of particle Y.
(c) Calculate the disintegration energy of the decay (in MeV).
(d) Explain why K-edge should be considered in electron capture.
Express the values to 3 significant figures, if necessary.
