Looking at radiative corrections to the Σ±→Λe± ν̅ semileptonic decay-rate ratio

Abstract

We investigate the impact of radiative corrections on the ratio of the semileptonic decay rates Σ±→Λe± ν̅. Phenomenological analyses point to sizable radiative effects on the experimentally measured ratio. From a theoretical perspective, this observable is particularly appealing because several hadronic and electroweak contributions partially cancel in the ratio, providing a cleaner probe of electromagnetic effects. We identify the dominant contributions to the radiative corrections and develop the framework for a dedicated calculation. This represents a first step toward a precise theoretical description of baryon semileptonic decays, helping to assess their potential as precision tests of the Standard Model.
