Which outcome occurs when relativistic speeds affect electron capture?

A)Neutrino energy spectrum is significantly widened
B)Internal conversion rates decrease exponentially
C)Auger electron emission probability increases
D)Nuclear magnetic moment direction reverses

💡 Explanation

Electron capture neutrino energy spectrum depends on relativistic corrections; **Doppler broadening** smears the measured energy because faster electrons alter the neutrino's energy via momentum during capture, therefore the spectrum widens, rather than other decay modes, under these conditions.
