Ca by beta decay, whilst 11% are to 40 Ar by either electron capture or positron emission. This latter decay branch has produced an isotopic abundance of argon on Earth which differs greatly from that seen in gas giants and stellar spectra. 40 K has the longest known half-life for any positron-emitter nuclide.
