Electron capture (EC) decay relies on attachment and stripping
cross-sections, that in turn, depend on the atomic number of the nucleus. We
revisit the impact of EC decay in the context of the high-precision cosmic-ray
fluxes measured by the AMS-02 experiment. We derive the solution of the
steady-state fluxes in a 1D thin disk model including EC decay. We compare our
results with relevant elemental and isotopic fluxes and evaluate the impact of
this process, given the precision of recent AMS-02, ACE-CRIS, SuperTIGER, and
Voyager data. We find this impact to be at the level or larger than the
precision of recently collected data for several species, e.g. 31βGa and
33βAs, indicating that EC decay must be properly taken into account in the
calculation.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, Proceedings for International Cosmic Ray
