Abstract
We present the first and complete dispersion relation analysis of the inner radiative corrections to the axial coupling constant gA in the neutron β-decay. Using experimental inputs from the elastic form factors and the spin-dependent structure function g1, we determine the contribution from the γW-box diagram to a precision better than 10−4. Our calculation indicates that the inner radiative corrections to the Fermi and the Gamow-Teller matrix element in the neutron β-decay are almost identical, i.e. the ratio λ = gA/gV is almost unrenormalized. With this result, we predict the bare axial coupling constant to be $$ {\overset{\circ }{g}}_A=-1.2754{(13)}_{\mathrm{exp}}{(2)}_{\mathrm{RC}} $$
