We discuss the consequences of the approximate conservation of the vector and axial currents for the hadronic matrix elements appearing in beta decay if non-standard interactions are present. In particular the isovector (pseudo)scalar…
Based on realistic calculations for the nonmesonic decay rate of Hypertriton we demonstrate, that in principle it is not possible to measure the total n- and p- induced decay rates and as a consequence $\Gamma_n /\Gamma_p$ for that lightest…
