Abstract
The process of atomic excitation and ionization accompanying orbital electron capture by nuclei is treated on the basis of the general theory of -decay using a configuration space representation for both nucleons and leptons. Quantitative expressions are obtained (a) for the total number of double holes produced in the -shell due to -capture accompanied by excitation or ejection of the other -electron [Eq. (15)], and (b) for the total probability of electron ejection in orbital electron capture together with the ejected electron momentum spectrum [Eqs. (17)-(18)]. A discussion is given of the possibilities of experimental verification of the theory developed.
