How to separate beta- particles and internal conversion electrons in two different histograms or branches

I would like to compare Geant4 radioactive decay and ICRP 107 database for dosimetry studies in nuclear medicine and my starting point is the rdecay01 extended example.

How do I change rdecay01 extended example code to separate the emissions from beta- particles and internal conversion electrons into two different histograms or branches? As it is, the output is one histogram with both emissions.

Do you recommend a better code to perform this comparison?

1- In my knowledge there is no public function to access this information.
2- In rdecay01 you may use /rdecay01/fullChain false; you will get the first decay and not the following deexcitations. Look at rdecay01.in and its output.

Is it possible to turn off the emission of internal conversion electrons?
