Decay Energy of Carbon-11 isotope

[Sensei]

Hello!

On wiki page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_carbon
we can read that decay energy of Carbon-11 isotope is

¹¹C -> ¹¹B + e+ + V_e + 0.96 MeV

 

The first one with 0.96 MeV is correct. I am receiving exactly the same value.

 

¹¹C + e- -> ¹¹B + V_e + 3.17 MeV

 

But this one, I am not so sure whether it's correct.

 

Can someone point me to other sources mentioning this decay energy of Carbon-11 to verify data.. ?

The best would be couple independent sources.

 

After posting I found this

http://www.nucleide.org/DDEP_WG/Nuclides/C-11_tables.pdf

which mentions 1.982 MeV as decay energy of Carbon-11 (decay through electron capture).

And that was mine previously calculated value too (so I was quite surprised that it doesn't match wiki page)..

 

Best Regards!

1.982MeV decay energy, which is 2*0,511MeV more than 0.96MeV.

So it appears that wikipedia has incorrect data.

 

Can someone with wikipedia account fix it?

 

Change row:

 

"¹¹C + e- -> ¹¹B + V_e + 3.17 MeV"

 

to

 

"¹¹C + e- -> ¹¹B + V_e + 1.982 MeV"
