Measurement of the rate for pion beta decay.

چکیده
We present here a measurement of the rate for pion beta decay (&t3), & —n'e'v, made with the use of a new technique at the Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF), which is substantially more precise than previous measurements. The conserved-vector-current (CVC) hypothesis, ' a cornerstone of the unified theory of electromagnetic and weak interactions, relates the rate for ~P directly to the ft value for nuclear P decays:

N ov 2 00 3 A new evaluation of the pion weak form factors
We have used the PIBETA large acceptance detector for a precise measurement of the π + → e + νγ radiative decay at rest, with broad phase space coverage. Using the CVC value for the pion vector form factor, F V = 0.0259(5), we have obtained a new value of the pion axial-vector form factor γ = F A /F V = 0.429(14). However, significant deviations from the SM predictions are evident in our data. ...

The interest, the status and the perspectives of various experiments in neutron and nuclear beta-decay, muon-decay and pion-decays are discussed. The talk is segmented into a discussion of the decay-rates and of the energy-spectra and correlations. The impact on various scenarios of ”new physics” is briefly mentioned ; leftright symmetric models are discussed in more detail and the informations...
متن کاملNon-Relativistic Limit of Neutron Beta-Decay Cross-Section in the Presence of Strong Magnetic Field
One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...
متن کاملPionium Decays and Pion Polarizability
We calculate the decay of pionium atoms into two photons. The pion polariz-ability gives rise to a 10% correction to the corresponding decay width for pointlike pions. This opens the possibility to obtain the polarizability of the charged pion from a future measurement of this decay width if the ππ-scattering lengths are known to better than 5% precision. We also comment on the contribution of ...
متن کاملBOSE-EINSTEIN CORRELATIONS IN PION PRODUCTION AT TRISTAN
Measurement of Bose-Einstein correlations in the production of like-signed pion pairs has been made with the AMY detector at TRISTAN. An event sample of 10120 hadronic events with ranging between 50 to 61 GeV was used. These measurements indicate a strength of the enhancement of ? = 0.61M.07, with a typical correlation size of Ro = 1.16±.08 fm. This value of ? is consistent with measurem...
