New Physics in Neutron Beta Decay

Limits on parameters describing physics beyond the Standard Model are presented. The most general Lorentz invariant effective Hamiltonian at the quark-lepton level involving vector, scalar and tensor operators has been used. The fits have been done using the most precise and up to date experimental data for correlation coefficients measured in free neutron beta decay as well as the Fierz term measured in superallowed Fermi decays.

Physics Beyond Standard Model in Neutron Beta Decay

Limits from neutron beta decay on parameters describing physics beyond the Standard Model are presented. New Physics is described by the most general Lorentz invariant effective Hamiltonian involving vector, scalar and tensor operators and Standard Model fields only. Two-parameter fits to the decay parameters measured in free neutron beta decay have been done, in some cases indicating rather big dependence of the results on g_A/g_V ratio of nucleon form factors at zero four-momentum transfer.

Neutrino production states in oscillation phenomena - are they pure or mixed?

General quantum mechanical states of neutrinos produced by mechanisms outside the Standard Model are discussed. The neutrino state is described by the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata-Pontecorvo unitary mixing matrix only in the case of relativistic neutrinos and Standard Model left-handed charge current interaction. The problem of Wigner spin rotation caused by Lorentz transformation from the rest production frame to the laboratory frame is considered. Moreover, the mixture of the neutrino states as a function of their energy and parameters from the extension of the Standard Model are investigated. Two sources of mixture, the appearance of subdominant helicity states, and mass mixing with several different mixing matrices are studied.
