Abstract
We propose a new theory framework to study the isospin-symmetry breaking correction in superallowed nuclear beta decays, crucial for the precise determination of . Based on a general assumptions of the isovector dominance in ISB interactions, we construct a set of functions which involve nuclear matrix elements of isovector monopole operators and the nuclear Green's function. Via the functions , a connection of to measurable electroweak nuclear radii is established, providing an experimental gauge of the theory accuracy of . We outline a strategy to perform ab-initio calculations of based on the Lanczos algorithm, and discuss its similarity with other nuclear-structure-dependent inputs in nuclear beta decays.
