The Fermi function and the neutron's lifetime

The traditional Fermi function ansatz for nuclear beta decay describes enhanced perturbative effects in the limit of large nuclear charge Z and/or small electron velocity β. We define and compute the quantum field theory object that replaces this ansatz for neutron beta decay, where neither of these...
