[QUOTE="duchuy, post: 6458034, member: 686238"] [B]Homework Statement:[/B] Which particle would a scintigraphy detect? ( [B]Relevant Equations:[/B] I --> Xe* + e- + antineutrino Hi, I'm struggling to understand an answer in my MCQ. It states that a scintigraphy would detect γ photons emitted by the iodine's nucleus, and the answer was correct. But I don't understand how it would detect γ photons from the iodine's nucleus since it disintegrates by forming Xe*, an electron and an antineutrino. So even if it is caused by an electronic rearrangement due to the appearance of a new electron, it would emit a X photon. To a certain extent, we could say that excited Xe nucleus would emit γ photons but I really don't understand how the iodine's nucleus could emit γ photons... Can someone please explain to me thank you! [/QUOTE]
