Microscopic Calculations of Isospin-Breaking Corrections to Superallowed Beta Decay

Journal Article Satula, W. ; Dobaczewski, J. ; Nazarewicz, Witold ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The superallowed {beta}-decay rates that provide stringent constraints on physics beyond the standard model of particle physics are affected by nuclear structure effects through isospin-breaking corrections. The self-consistent isospin- and angular-momentum-projected nuclear density functional theory is used for the first time to compute those corrections for a number of Fermi transitions in nuclei from A = 10 to A = 74. The resulting leading element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, |V{sub ud}| = 0.974 47(23), agrees well with the recent result of Towner and Hardy [Phys. Rev. C 77 025501 (2008)].

Improved calculation of the isospin-symmetry-breaking corrections to superallowed Fermi {beta} decay

Journal Article Towner, I S ; Hardy, J C - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We report new shell-model calculations of the isospin-symmetry-breaking correction {delta}{sub C} to superallowed 0{sup +}{yields}0{sup +} nuclear {beta} decay. The most important improvement is the inclusion of core orbitals, which are demonstrated to have a significant impact on the mismatch in the radial wave functions of the parent and daughter states. We determine which core orbitals are important to include from an examination of measured spectroscopic factors in single-nucleon pickup reactions. In addition, where new sets of effective interactions have become available since our last calculation, we now include them; this leads to small changes in {delta}{sub NS} as well.more »« less

Isospin-Breaking Corrections to Superallowed Fermi Beta Decay in Isospin- and Angular-Momentum-Projected Nuclear Density Functional Theory

Journal Article Satula, W. ; Dobaczewski, J. ; Nazarewicz, Witold ; ... - Physical Review C

Background: Superallowed -decay rates provide stringent constraints on physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. To extract crucial information about the electroweak force, small isospin-breaking corrections to the Fermi matrix element of superallowed transitions must be applied. Purpose: We perform systematic calculations of isospin-breaking corrections to superallowed decays and estimate theoretical uncertainties related to the basis truncation, to time-odd polarization effects related to the intrinsic symmetry of the underlying Slater determinants, and to the functional parametrization. Methods: We use the self-consistent isospin- and angular-momentum-projected nuclear density functional theory employing two density functionals derived from the density-independent Skyrme interaction.

The influence of pairing correlations on the isospin symmetry breaking corrections of superallowed Fermi beta decays

Journal Article Cal Latin-Small-Letter-Dotless-I k, A. E., E-mail: engincalik@yahoo.com ; Gerceklioglu, M. ; Selam, C. - Physics of Atomic Nuclei

Within the framework of quasi-particle random phase approximation, the isospin breaking correction of superallowed 0{sup +} {yields} 0{sup +} beta decay and unitarity of Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix have been investigated. The broken isotopic symmetry of nuclear part of Hamiltonian has been restored by Pyatov's method. The isospin symmetry breaking correction with pairing correlations has been compared with the previous results without pairing. The effect of pairing interactions has been examined for nine superallowed Fermi beta decays; their parent nuclei are {sup 26}Al, {sup 34}Cl, {sup 38}K, {sup 42}Sc, {sup 46}V, {sup 50}Mn, {sup 54}Co, {sup 62}Ga, {sup 74}Rb.

Isospin-symmetry-breaking corrections to superallowed Fermi {beta} decay: Formalism and schematic models

Journal Article Miller, G A ; Schwenk, A - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We study the formalism to include isospin-symmetry-breaking corrections when extracting the up-down Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element from superallowed 0{sup +}{yields}0{sup +} nuclear {beta} decay. We show that there are no first-order isospin-symmetry-breaking corrections to the relevant nuclear matrix elements. We find corrections to the treatment of Towner and Hardy, and assess these using schematic models of increasing complexity.
