The CKM matrix element
obtained with a set of
the ISB corrections calculated using the double-projected DFT method [4]
agrees very well with the result obtained by Towner and Hardy
(TH) [11],
, obtained within methodology based
on the nuclear shell-model combined with Woods-Saxon mean-field
(SM+WS) wave functions. Both values result in the unitarity of the
CKM matrix up to 0.1%. It is gratifying to see that also individual
DFT values of
are consistent within 2
with
the values calculated in Ref. [11] (see Fig. 7 of
Ref. [4]). This holds up to three exceptions of the ISB
corrections to
C![]()
B,
K![]()
Ar, and
Ga![]()
Zn
transitions. The two latter mass numbers, more precisely transitions
Ca![]()
K and
Ga![]()
Zn,
are analyzed below using the newly developed NCCI approach. It is worth mentioning here
that the mutually consistent DFT and TH results are at variance with the
RPA-based study of Ref. [12], which gives
systematically smaller values of
and, in turn,
considerably smaller value of matrix element
.
