Radiative corrections toβandμdecays inSU(2)L×U(1)models involving2nflavors

Abstract
The analysis of the radiative corrections to β and μ decays is generalized to a class of SU(2)L×U(1) models with n left-handed doublets on the basis of the current-algebra formulation. With some rather mild qualifications, the corrections turn out to be the same as in the four-flavor case. They are important in studying the tenability of the generalized as well as the standard models. We also discuss the question whether the radiative corrections may distinguish between SU(2)L×U(1) and SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1) models with the same low-energy phenomenology.
