Testing CVC and CKM Unitarity via superallowed nuclear beta decay

Currently, the most restrictive test of the unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix is anchored by nuclear beta decay. Precise measurements of the ft-values for superallowed beta transitions between analog 0+ states are used to determine GV, the vector coupling constant; this, in tur...
