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
.
