Description
A program of high-precision superallowed Fermi beta decay studies is currently being carried out at the Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC) radioactive ion beam facility at TRIUMF, Canada's national laboratory for nuclear and particle physics research. Recentmhigh-precision branching ratio measurements for the superallowed decays of 74^Rb and 26m^Al, as well as a half-life measurement for 26Alm that is the most precise half-life measurement for any superallowed emitter to date, will be presented. These results provide some of the most demanding tests of the theoretical isospin-symmetry-breaking corrections in superallowed Fermi beta decays to date.
