Comment On Particle Mixing And Delta-I= 3/2 Terms In Non-Leptonic Weak Decays, Br Holstein Jul 1981

Comment On Particle Mixing And Delta-I= 3/2 Terms In Non-Leptonic Weak Decays, Br Holstein

Barry R Holstein

A recent paper by Gusbin concludes that ΔI=3/2 terms in K→πη can substantially modify particle-mixing contributions to K+→π+π0. Using techniques which can successfully reproduce the experimental features of the K→ππ decays, we argue that this seems unlikely.


Implications Of Nuclear Parity Non-Conservation, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein Jun 1981

Implications Of Nuclear Parity Non-Conservation, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein

Barry R Holstein

From recent developments in the area of nuclear parity nonconservation we extract evidence for (1) SU(3) /soft-pion breaking in weak pionic vertices, and (2) larger values of quark masses than have been used in previous evaluations of "penguin" matrix elements.


Induced Tensor And Ft Asymmetries, Br Holstein Mar 1981

Induced Tensor And Ft Asymmetries, Br Holstein

Barry R Holstein

Looked at from a model-independent point of view, the existence of a non-zero first class induced tensor form factor appears to provide a substantial contribution to the observed ft asymmetry in mirror Gamow-Teller beta decays. However, we demonstrate that, when analyzed in terms of the impulse approximation, this is only a negligibly small effect. RADIOACTIVITY Calculated contribution to ft asymmetry from first class induced tensor.
