These nuclei can be considered possible candidates for forming the beam of a monoenergetic neutrino beam facility based on the electron capture (EC) decay of radioactive nuclei. Our measurements confirm that for the cases studied the EC decay proceeds mainly to a single state in the daughter nucleus. %R 10.1103/PhysRevC.84.034304 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.84.034304 %P 034304-6pp
