On the Possibility of Measuring the Ratio G(A)/G(V) by means of Polarized Ultracold Neutrons

摘要

The possibility of experimentally determining the ratio of the axial weak-interaction constant G(A) to the vector weak-interaction constant G(V) by simultaneously measuring the electron and neutrino asymmetries at the same setup is discussed. The proposed measurement and data-processing procedures are described in detail. The determination of by the method in question permits disregarding the possible contribution of the Fierz interference term and dispensing with an accurate measurement of the neutron polarization. It is shown that this method makes it possible to measure to a precision at a level of 10(-4).
