To continue from our previous work, we derive the full Standard Model prediction of the most general free neutron differential decay rate with all massive particles (neutron, proton, and electron) polarized, including the $$\mathcal{O}$$⁢(1/$$\mathcal{m}$$N) recoil corrections and $$\mathcal{O}$$⁢(α/π) radiative corrections. For the latter we adopt the newly developed pseudoneutrino formalism which is compatible to realistic experimental setups, in which neutrinos and photons are not detected. We also provide readily executable Mathematica notebooks to evaluate these corrections.
