1. In beta decay, a neutron decays into a proton and an electron. What kinetic energy would you expect the electron to have in such a decay (ignoring effects due to the surrounding nucleus)? In reality, the kinetic energy distribution is smeared

  • 1. In beta decay, a neutron decays into a proton and an electron. What kinetic energy would you expect the electron

to have in such a decay (ignoring effects due to the surrounding nucleus)? In reality, the kinetic energy distribution is smeared out and has a maximal value which is what you calculate in the first part of this problem. Can you imagine a reason for this to be true?
