Grand unified theories and proton decay

A simple renormalization framework to carry out practical calculations in the $\mathrm{SU}{(2)}_{L}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{U}(1)$ theory is discussed. The basic counterterms associated with the mass matrix of the gauge bosons and their interactions with quarks and leptons are generated and determined in a straightforward manner. They can then be applied, in a systematic fashion, to study the radiative corrections to the various processes of interest: $\ensuremath{\mu}$ decay, $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay, $\ensuremath{\nu}$-induced reactions, and other leptonic and semileptonic processes. The role played by ${cos\ensuremath{\theta}}_{W}$ is discussed in some detail. Using the results and methods of the current-algebra formulation of radiative corrections, an effective Lagrangian is derived for $\ensuremath{\mu}$ decay in which the contributions of the heavy particles and some of the photonic corrections are reduced to a renormalization factor of the zeroth-order amplitude. This analysis determines the connection between the renormalized constants of the present framework and ${G}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$. The corrections to the relation ${m}_{W}=\frac{{(\frac{\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\alpha}}{\sqrt{2}{G}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}})}^{\frac{1}{2}}}{{sin\ensuremath{\theta}}_{W}}$ are discussed. This leads to some relevant observations concerning certain model-dependent hadronic contributions to these corrections and their cancellation in the comparison between charged-current transitions and neutral-current processes occurring at large momentum transfers.

Quark Masses and Flavor Mixing

We carry out a new, generalized analysis of nuclear ..beta.. decay and semileptonic hyperon and K/sub e/3 decays. The results are used to determine two quark mixing angles in the sequential Weinberg-Salam model.

New, Generalized Cabibbo Fit and Application to Quark Mixing Angles in the Sequential Weinberg-Salam Model

Using existing data we determine optimal bounds on the quark mixing angles in the standard six-quark Kobayashi-Maskawa version of the Weinberg-Salam model. The analysis is based on a recent generalized Cabibbo fit and constraints on the predicted values of the K/sub L/-K/sub S/ mass difference and CP-nonconservation parameter epsilon. We give resulting bounds on branching ratios and lifetimes of c-, b-, and t-flavored hadrons.
