Decay electrons

[Alex Malins]

Hi all,

Is anyone aware of a way to use PyNE to obtain energy & intensity data for decay electrons (also known as conversion electrons)? These are electrons emitted with discrete energies during radioactive decay, when a gamma ray emitted from a nucleus gets absorbed by one of its orbital elections that is then ejected. 

For example the decay electrons of Cs-137 (https://www.nndc.bnl.gov/nudat2/decaysearchdirect.jsp?nuc=137CS&unc=nds) give rise to discrete peaks in its beta spectrum:

I had a look the data API (https://pyne.io/pyapi/data.html) and tried various things out in PyNE without success so far. Would appreciate anyone's input here.

Best wishes,

Alex
