Neutron β-decay and the quark-mixing CKM-matrix
نویسنده
چکیده
Neutrons study a number of hot topics from the field of particle physics and cosmology: Recent measurements of various mixed American-British-French-GermanHungarian-Japan-Russian groups of researchers determine the strength of the weak interaction of the neutron, which gives us unique information on quark-mixing and the question of unitarity. Much to our surprise, with neutron-decay we find a deviation ∆ = 0.0083(28) from the unitarity condition, an effect that cannot be explained by the current Standard Model of particle physics.

Is the Unitarity of the quark-mixing-CKM-matrix violated in neutron β-decay?
This article is about the interplay between the Standard Model of elementary particle physics and neutron β-decay. Since the Fermi decay constant is known from muon decay, the Standard Model describes neutron β-decay with only two additional parameters. One parameter is the first entry |Vud| of the CKMmatrix. The other one is λ, the ratio of the vector coupling constant and the axial vector con...
متن کاملEnhanced contribution to quark and neutron electric dipole moments with small mixing of right-handed currents and CKM CP violation
We study the light quark and the neutron electric dipole moments (EDMs) under the assumptions that the CP source is still in the usual CKM matrix and that there is a small mixing of right-handed charged currents in the quark sector. We find that the EDMs arise already at two loop order that are much larger than the standard model (SM) result even for a small mixing.

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...

The semileptonic decay B → π ¯ lν is one of the most important reactions for the determination of the CKM matrix element |V ub |. However, in order to extract |V ub | from data one needs an accurate theoretical calculation of the hadronic matrix element describing the B to π transition. QCD sum rules, based on operator-product expansion on the light-cone, provide a reliable approach to this aim...
