Mirror beta transitions

Nuclear Experiment 2024-06-28 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Beta decays of mirror nuclei differ in Q-value, but will otherwise proceed with transitions of similar strength. The current status is reviewed: Fermi transitions are all very similar, whereas Gamow-Teller transitions can differ in strength by more than a factor two. The main cause of the asymmetries appears to be binding energy differences between the mirror systems.
