In this paper, we study the impact of the inclusion of the recently measured beta decay properties of the $^{102;104;105;106;107}$Tc, $^{105}$Mo, and $^{101}$Nb nuclei in an updated calculation of the antineutrino energy spectra of the four…

The standard model seeming at a loss to account for the present experimental average rate for the rare decay K+ -> Pi+ neutrino antineutrino, I tackle the question with the extension of the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model to an SU(2)left x…
