Value of the Axial-Vector Coupling Strength in β and ββ Decays: A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
In this review the quenching of the weak axial-vector coupling strength, gA, is discussed in nuclear β and double-β decays. On one hand, the nuclear-medium and nuclear many-body effects are separated, and on the other hand the quenching is discussed from the points of view of different many-body methods and different β-decay and double-β-decay processes. Both the historical background and the present status are reviewed and contrasted against each other. The theoretical considerations are tied to performed and planned measurements, and possible new measurements are urged, whenever relevant and doable. Relation of the quenching problem to the measurements of charge-exchange reactions and muon-capture rates is pointed out.

Analysis of charge asymmetry in rare dilepton B decays.
We analyze forward-backward charge asymmetry of the lepton production in rare decays B → Xsll and B → K∗l+l−, including vector-resonance effects. Certain regions of phase space, in which the asymmetry is sensitive to individual short-distance coefficients, are pointed out. In particular, we suggest a method to test the coupling of the leptonic axial vector current to the left-handed quark curre...
متن کاملMuon capture on nuclei with NÌZ , random phase approximation, and in-medium value of the axial-vector coupling constant
We use the random phase approximation to describe the muon capture rate on Ca, Ca, Fe, Zr, and Pb. With Ca as a test case, we show that the continuum random phase approximation ~CRPA! and the standard RPA give essentially equivalent descriptions of the muon capture process. Using the standard RPA with the free nucleon weak form factors we reproduce the experimental total capture rates on these ...

Determination of the strong g-coupling and of the µ B * Bγ − strength from two-photon decays of heavy vector mesons We describe a calculation of the two-photon decays of heavy vector-mesons, B * → Bγγ and D * → Dγγ, by using the " heavy meson chiral Lagrangian ".

متن کاملCoherent Neutrino–Nucleus Scattering
We review coherent scattering of neutrinos on nuclei by coupling the weak currents to vector and axial-vector meson states. The couplings are obtained from known reactions, like τ–lepton and vector meson decays. We compute and present the cross sections as functions of energy and momentum transfer for various kinematic regions, including those which are relevant to oscillation experiments. The ...
