چکیده

The expected increased accuracy of neutron β-decay experiments at the new Spallation Neutron Source could result in more stringent tests of the Standard Model. For an unambiguous search for new physics in neutron decay experiments and for a precise determination of fundamental constants, it is necessarily to understand and evaluate all corrections for neutron decay with higher accuracy than the expected experimental precision. We discuss the possibility to estimate the accuracy of radiative corrections. New results based on the applications of effective field theory for neutron decay is presented.

Full One-Loop Radiative Corrections to the Asymmetry Parameter of Polarised Neutron Beta Decay

We present a calculation of full one-loop radiative corrections, including the constant term, to the asymmetry parameter of polarised neutron beta decay. This gives the radiative correction to the axial coupling constant gA extracted from the beta asymmetry so that it ties to gA that appears in neutron decay lifetime in a consistent renormalisation scheme. We find that the ratio of axial-vector...

Radiative corrections to the neutron β−decay within the Standard Model. Abstract Starting with the basic Lagrangian of the Standard Model, the radiative corrections to the neutron β−decay are acquired. The electroweak interactions are consistently taken into consideration amenably to the Weinberg-Salam theory. The effect of the strong quark-quark interactions on the neutron β−decay is parameter...

Standard Model Treatment of the Radiative Corrections to Neutron β-Decay

Starting with the Standard Model electroweak Lagrangian, the radiative corrections to neutron β-decay are obtained. Nucleon compositeness is considered by appropriate parameterization of the nucleon weak transition current and electromagnetic form factors.

The existing experimental evidence on the vector and axial-vector coupling constants, GV and GA, for neutron β-decay exhibits two prominent problems: (i) the unitarity for the first row of the CKM matrix seems violated; (ii) one obtains different values of GA/GV according to whether one uses as input the neutron lifetime or neutron-decay correlation observables. We show that the in-medium modif...

Radiative Corrections to Muon and Neutron Decay

The corrections to muon decay due to electromagnetic interactions have been recalculated. Our results differ from those of Behrends, Finkelstein, and Sirlin, because those authors used an inconsistent method for handling the infrared divergences which arise separately in the real and virtual processes. The disagreement is especially significant near the end of the electron (positron) spectrum w...
