Differential Decay Rates
Methods are described in the framework of light-cone expansion which allow one to determine the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements |Vub| and |Vcb| from measurements of the differential decay rates as a function of the scaling variables in the inclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons. By these model-independent methods the dominant hadronic uncertainties can be avoided and the B → Xulν d...
متن کاملThe Theory of Alpha Decay
One of the relatively simple physical processes that can be described successfully in the framework of introductory quantum theory is alpha decay. In this process, two protons and two neutrons out of a relatively large nucleus dissociate from the rest of the nucleus, form a separate subsystem and subsequently depart. In its full complexity, this process is not be describable, however a reasonab...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics of Alpha Decay
Quantum mechanical basis for the Geiger-Nuttal Law. Determination of the half-lives of several species in the Uranium, Thorium and Actinium series through the use of a scintillator, solid-state detector and coincidence circuitry. The half-lives of Po, Rn and Po are determined at 181 ± 5 s, 4.49 ± .01 days and 163 ± 1 μs, respectively. Verification of the theoretical relationship between half-li...
متن کاملSemiclassical calculation of decay rates
Several relevant aspects of quantum-field processes can be well described by semiclassical methods. In particular, the knowledge of non-trivial classical solutions of the field equations, and the thermal and quantum fluctuations around them, provide non-perturbative information about the theory. In this work, we discuss the calculation of the one-loop effective action from the semiclasssical vi...
متن کاملAlpha-decay Rates of Yb and Gd in Solar Neutrino Detectors
The α-decay rates for the nuclides 168,170,171,172,173,174,176Yb and 148,150,152,154Gd have been estimated from transmission probabilities in a systematic α-nucleus potential and from an improved fit to α-decay rates in the rare-earth mass region. Whereas α-decay of Gd in natural gadolinium is a severe obstacle for the use of gadolinium as a low-energy solar-neutrino detector, we show that α-de...
