Continuous spectrum from radioactive désintegration

I posted this on the "questions that dont merit their own thread" thread, but couldnt get an answer so i figured that a proper thread could be deserved :

Wich one of the three isobaric radioactive desintegrations renders a continuous spectrum due to probabilistic repartition of the energy between emitted particles ? I used to think that it was B+, but that doesn't seem possible... It's not electronic capture for obvious reasons, so that leaves B- ! But B- seems weird to me : it would mean that the spectrum is from the electrons ! Is it even possible to observe an electron spectrum ? Doesn't it have to be from electromagnetic waves ?

Thanks a lot !
