Phys. Rev. D 73, 073011 (2006) [7 pages]Conserved vector current test using low energy beta beamsReceived 6 March 2006; published 26 April 2006 We discuss the possibility of testing the weak currents and, in particular, the weak magnetism term through the measurement of the ν̅ e+p→e++n reaction at a low energy beta-beam facility. We analyze the sensitivity using both the total number of events and the angular distribution of the positrons emitted in a water Čerenkov detector. We show that the weak magnetism form factor might be determined with better than several percent accuracy using the angular distribution. This offers a new way of testing the conserved vector current hypothesis. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
