A per-cent-level determination of the nucleon axial coupling from quantum chromodynamics

CC Chang, AN Nicholson, E Rinaldi, E Berkowitz… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
The axial coupling of the nucleon, g A, is the strength of its coupling to the weak axial current
of the standard model of particle physics, in much the same way as the electric charge is the …

Global fit of modified quark couplings to EW gauge bosons and vector-like quarks in light of the Cabibbo angle anomaly

A Crivellin, M Kirk, T Kitahara, F Mescia - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract There are two tensions related to the Cabibbo angle of the CKM matrix. First, the
determinations of V us from K μ2, K ℓ3, and τ decays disagree at the 3σ level. Second, using …

Neutron lifetime and axial coupling connection

A Czarnecki, WJ Marciano, A Sirlin - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
