Tests of the standard electroweak model in nuclear beta decay
Open accessAbstract
The current status of precision measurements in allowed nuclear beta decay is reviewed, including neutron decay, with emphasis on their potential to look for new physics beyond the standard electroweak model. Experimental results are interpreted in the framework of phenomenological model-independent descriptions of nuclear beta decay as well as in some specific extensions of the standard model. The values of the standard couplings and the constraints on the exotic couplings of the general beta decay Hamiltonian are updated. The ratio between the axial and vector couplings obtained is ${C}_{A}∕{C}_{V}=\ensuremath{-}1.269\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}92(69)$ under standard model assumptions. Particular attention is devoted to the discussion of the sensitivity and complementarity of different precision experiments in direct beta decay. The prospects and impact of recent developments of precision tools and of high intensity low-energy beams are also addressed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
