摘要
Precision measurements of superallowed Fermi beta-decay transitions, particularly for the lightest superallowed emitters C-10 and O-14, set stringent limits on possible scalar current contributions to the weak interaction. In the present work, a discrepancy between recent measurements of the C-10 half-life is addressed through two high-precision half-life measurements, via gamma-ray photopeak and beta counting, that yield consistent results for the C-10 half-life of T-1/2 = 19.2969 +/- 0.0074 s and T-1/2 = 19.3009 +/- 0.0017 s, respectively. The latter is the most precise superallowed beta-decay half-life measurement reported to date and the first to achieve a relative precision below 10(-4). A fit to the world superallowed beta-decay data including the C-10 half-life measurements reported here yields b(F) = -0.0018 +/- 0.0021 (68% C.L.) for the Fierz interference term and C-S/C-V = +.0009 +/- 0.0011 for the ratio of the weak scalar to vector couplings assuming left-handed neutrinos.
