Proton-Proton Fusion and Tritium β Decay from Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics

The nuclear matrix element determining the pp→de⁺ν fusion cross section and the Gamow-Teller matrix element contributing to tritium β decay are calculated with lattice quantum chromodynamics for the first time. Using a new implementation of the background field method, these quantities are calculate...
