Background: Superallowed $\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay rates provide stringent constraints on physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. To extract crucial information about the electroweak force, small isospin-breaking corrections to the Fermi matrix element of superallowed transitions must be applied.Purpose: We perform systematic calculations of isospin-breaking corrections to superallowed $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decays and …
