Abstract

We analyze the axial γW\gamma W-box diagram for I(JP)=1(0+)I(J^P)=1(0^+) nuclei and provide a dispersion representation of the nuclear-structure correction δNS\delta_\text{NS} including its energy-dependent part. We also summarize useful isospin rotation formula and representations in nuclear theory that could facilitate the calculation of the parity-odd nuclear structure function F3(ν,Q2)F_3(\nu,Q^2). They provide a rigorous theory framework for the future, high-precision calculation of the nuclear structure correction δNS\delta_\text{NS} necessary for the extraction of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element Vud|V_{ud}| from superallowed nuclear β\beta decays.
