Abstract:
Experimental data on the variation of tritium nucleus beta decay constant caused by the interaction of the resulting beta-electron with orbital electrons and shell vacancies are reviewed for free atomic tritium and molecular tritium and used to obtain the half-life of atomic tritium (T1/2)a=(12.264±0.018) y, the half-life of the free triton (T1/2)t=(12.238±0.020) y, the axial-vector-to-vector weak-interaction coupling constant ratio (GA/GV)t=–1.2646 ± 0.0035 for beta decay of the triton, and an independent estimate of the free neutron lifetime τn= (890.3 ± 3.9stat ± 1.4syst) s.
