Question:

In a particular beta-minus decay of a free neutron (that is, one not part of an atomic nucleus), the emitted electron has exactly the same kinetic energy as the emitted electron antineutrino. What is the value, in \(\mathrm{MeV}\), of that kinetic energy? Assume that the recoiling proton has negligible kinetic energy.
