How and How Much is ${g_A}$ {\it Fundamentally} Quenched in Nuclei?
Abstract
The superallowed Gamow-Teller transition in the doubly-magic-shell nucleus Sn and the high resolution spectral shape analysis in the fourth-forbidden nonunique transition in In indicate as much as {\it fundamental} quenching in the axial-current coupling constant in nuclei. This can be attributed to an effect of the trace anomaly in QCD "emerging" in nuclear medium. If confirmed, this would signal a major revamping to do in nuclear interactions consistent with chiral-scale symmetry in nuclear medium and a big impact on and double decays for BSM. I present an argument that such a big anomaly-induced quenching is incompatible with how hidden scale symmetry manifests in nuclear medium, A possible means to resolve this issue is discussed in terms of hidden scale symmetry permeating in baryonic matter from normal nuclear matter to massive compact-star matter.
