In the Standard Model (SM) we calculate the decay rate of the neutron radiative beta decay to order "O(\alpha^2/\pi^2 ~ 10^{-5})", where "\alpha$"is the fine--structure constant, and radiative corrections to order "O(\alpha/\pi ~ 10^{-3})".…

In the standard model, the top quark decay width \Gamma_t is computed from the exclusive t -> bW decay. We argue in favor of using the three body decays t-> bf_i\bar{f}_j to compute \Gamma_t as a sum over these exclusive modes. As dictated…
