An approximate analytic calculation of O(Zα^2) corrections to Fermi decays is presented. When the analysis of Koslowsky et al. is modified to take into account the new results, it is found that each of the eight accurately studied Ft values differs from the average by ≲1σ, thus significantly improving the comparison of experiments with conserved-vector-current predictions. The new Ft values are lower than before, which also brings experiments into very good agreement with the three-generation standard model, at the level of its quantum corrections.

Abstract
An approximate analytic calculation of O(Zα^2) corrections to Fermi decays is presented. When the analysis of Koslowsky et al. is modified to take into account the new results, it is found that each of the eight accurately studied Ft values differs from the average by ≲1σ, thus significantly improving the comparison of experiments with conserved-vector-current predictions. The new Ft values are lower than before, which also brings experiments into very good agreement with the three-generation standard model, at the level of its quantum corrections.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
