Beta-decay implications for the W-boson mass anomaly

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-10-19 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We point out the necessity to consider β\beta-decay observables in resolutions of the WW-boson anomaly in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory that go beyond pure oblique corrections. We demonstrate that present global analyses that explain the WW-boson mass anomaly predict a large, percent-level, violation of first-row CKM unitarity. We investigate what solutions to the WW-boson mass anomaly survive after including β\beta-decay constraints.
