Difference between Electron capture and Weak interaction

Electron capture vs. Weak interaction

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 shell. In particle physics, the weak interaction (the weak force or weak nuclear force) is the mechanism of interaction between sub-atomic particles that causes radioactive decay and thus plays an essential role in nuclear fission.

Similarities between Electron capture and Weak interaction

Electron capture and Weak interaction have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Beta decay, Charged current, Electron, Electron neutrino, Neutrino, Proton, Radioactive decay.

Beta decay

In nuclear physics, beta decay (β-decay) is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray (fast energetic electron or positron) and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

Neutrino

A neutrino (denoted by the Greek letter ν) is a fermion (an elementary particle with half-integer spin) that interacts only via the weak subatomic force and gravity.

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, gamma ray, or electron in the case of internal conversion.

Electron capture and Weak interaction Comparison

Electron capture has 44 relations, while Weak interaction has 122. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 4.22% = 7 / (44 + 122).
