That is why the results of Holmlid are so alluring. Consider that three-body electron-related decays involve a broadband spectrum, and that the primary decay products will carry most of the energy (I think) and any deexcitation gammas will have to make due with the small portion of remaining Q that is left over. So a 1 MeV decay will lead to a prompt electron with ~ 500 keV (on average, I think) and will not necessarily lead to gammas that are too energetic, even if the decay populates an excited state in the daughter nuclide. Many beta decays are of the order of 100-500 keV, in which case the numbers are even lower for all products. Here is why I think accelerated beta and alpha decay are a thing: http://physics.stackexchange.com/q/212660/6713 BTW, your messages are arriving quite late. Eric
