Abstract

Limits on the scalar and induced-scalar coupling constants are established from experimental ft values of superallowed Fermi transitions. The role of the uncertainties in the ft values is discussed, leading to minimal coupling strengths that can be extracted from ft values. The implications for the Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing angles are also discussed.
