The 17 pages that link to Electron capture, each with the reason it gives.

• Radioactive decayRelated: It competes with positron emission when a proton-rich nucleus lowers its energy.

• Neutron starRelated: It reduces pressure-supporting electrons and helps turn a collapsing core neutron-rich.

• Core-collapse supernovaRelated: It removes pressure-supporting electrons from the collapsing core.

• Electron degeneracy pressureRelated: In dense stellar matter, capture removes supporting electrons and can trigger collapse.

• Decay chainRelated: It is an alternative route between neighboring nuclides with the same mass number.

• IsobarRelated: It changes atomic number without changing mass number.

• Potassium-40Related: This pathway turns potassium-40 into argon-40.

• Chien-Shiung WuRelated: Electron capture provided the decay pathway used in the Goldhaber neutrino-helicity experiment.
