values of the mirror transitions and the weak magnetism induced current in allowed nuclear decay

N. Severijns, L. Hayen, V. De Leebeeck +4

In recent years a number of correlation measurements in nuclear decay have been performed reaching a precision of the order of 1\% and below and it is expected that even higher…

Nuclear beta decays and CKM unitarity

J. C. Hardy, I. S. Towner

Nuclear beta decays between (J^pi,T) = (0^+,1) analog states yield the best value for the Vud element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. Current world data establish the corr…

Theoretical corrections and world data for the superallowed ft values in the beta decays of 42Ti, 46Cr, 50Fe and 54Ni

I. S. Towner, J. C. Hardy

Prompted by recent measurements, we have surveyed world data and calculated radiative and isospin-symmetry breaking corrections for the superallowed 0+ -to- 0+ Fermi transitions fr…

The current evaluation of Vud

J. C. Hardy, I. S. Towner

The Vud element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix can be determined from several different experimental approaches: either 0+-to-0+ superallowed nuclear beta decays, neutron…

Parameterization of the statistical rate function for select superallowed transitions

I. S. Towner, J. C. Hardy

We present a parameterization of the statistical rate function, f, for 20 superallowed 0+-to-0+ nuclear beta transitions between T=1 analog states, and for 18 superallowed "mirror"…

The measurement and interpretation of superallowed 0+ to 0+ nuclear beta decay

J. C. Hardy, I. S. Towner

Measurements of the decay strength of superallowed 0+ to 0+ nuclear beta transitions shed light on the fundamental properties of weak interactions. Because of their impact, such me…
