electron capture
Definition
- Electron capture (K-electron capture, also K-capture, or L-electron capture, L-capture) is a process in which the proton-rich nucleus of an electrically neutral atom absorbs an inner atomic electron, usually from the K or L electron shells. This process thereby changes a nuclear proton to a neutron and simultaneously causes the emission of an electron neutrino. (Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_capture)
