Field theory of the Fermi function

RJ Hill, R Plestid - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
The Fermi function F (Z, E) accounts for QED corrections to beta decays that are enhanced
at either small electron velocity β or large nuclear charge Z. For precision applications, the …

Precision Measurement of the Asymmetry in Spin-Polarized Decay

B Fenker, A Gorelov, D Melconian, JA Behr… - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
Using Triumf's neutral atom trap, Trinat, for nuclear β decay, we have measured the β

All orders factorization and the Coulomb problem

RJ Hill, R Plestid - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
In the limit of large nuclear charge, Z≫ 1, or small lepton velocity, β≪ 1, Coulomb
corrections to nuclear beta decay and related processes are enhanced as Z α/β and become …
