Question:

(a) Calculate the energy released by the electron-capture decay of 5727Co (see Example 43. 7).
(b) A negligible amount of this energy goes to the resulting ~e atom as kinetic energy. About 90% of the time, the ~e nucleus emits two successive gamma-ray photons after the electron-capture process, of energies 0.122 MeV and 0.014 MeV, respectively, in decaying to its ground state. What is the energy of the neutrino emitted in this case?
