SU(3) Breaking in Hyperon Beta Decays: a Prediction for Xi0 -> Sigma+ e anti-neutrinoDOI: 10.1016/S0920-5632(99)00325-4 Abstract: SU(3) breaking in hyperon semi-leptonic decays is discussed. The SU(3) parameters $F$ and $D$, relevant to the ``proton-spin puzzle'', are extracted and a prediction is presented for the decay Xi0 -> Sigma+ e anti-neutrino, currently under study by the KTeV collaboration. The values found are g1/f1 = 1.16+/-0.03+/-0.01 and Gamma = (0.80+/-0.03+/-0.01) x 10^6 s^-1.
