Abstract

Studies of superallowed 0+→0+ β decays furnish the necessary experimental data to test the Conserved Vector Current hypothesis and extract a precise value for the weak vector coupling constant, Gv. The Vud quark-mixing element of the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is directly related to this coupling constant and the one extracted from muon decay. Consequently, its value is essential to establishing the unitarity of this matrix and the viability of the three-generation Standard Model as well as probing for the effects of right-handed currents and heavy neutrinos.
