Description

I review recent progress in calculating the hadron structure-dependent radiative corrections to the neutron beta-decay. An application of dispersion relations to the $\gamma W$-box allowed to provide a data-driven estimate of the uncertainty of this calculation, reducing the hadronic uncertainty by almost a factor 2.
