Abstract: (APS)
Corrections to the Fermi matrix element for superallowed transitions due to isospin nonconservation are reexamined. The sources of theoretical uncertainty and the possibility of a previously neglected correction based on the mismatch between the spectator nucleons are investigated. The consequences to the conserved-vector-current hypothesis and the Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing angles are discussed.
