Description
Recently, a complete analysis of the half-lives and branching ratios for the beta transitions between isospin T = 1/2 isospin doublets in mirror nuclei, together with detailed calculations of the radiative, isospin-symmetry breaking and nuclear structure corrections, have provided the corrected Ft-values for these mirror transitions up to A = 45.
Combining these Ft-values with results from correlation measurements that were performed with several of these mirror nuclei provides a new and independent source for the determination of the quark mixing matrix element |V_ud|.
