Abstract
Measurements of the decay correlation coefficients in nuclear decay aim for a precision below and theoretical predictions should follow this trend. In this work, the influence of the two dominant standard model correction terms, i.e., the recoil-order and the radiative correction, are studied for the most commonly measured correlations, i.e., the -asymmetry parameter () and the angular correlation (). The recoil-order correction is calculated with the well-known Holstein formalism using the impulse approximation to evaluate experimentally undetermined form factors. For the angular correlation previously unpublished, semianalytical radiative correction values are tabulated. Results are presented for the mirror decays up to . We examine the effect of both corrections and provide a comparison between different isotopes. This comparison will help planning, analyzing, and comparing future experimental efforts.
