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 …

values of the mirror transitions and the weak-magnetism-induced current in allowed nuclear decay

N Severijns, L Hayen, V De Leebeeck… - Physical Review C, 2023 - APS
