TL;DR Summary
The simple explanation of these corrections and their impact on beta spectrum.
Hi all,

I would like to understand the definition of finite size correction, radiative correction and weak magnetism correction, with their impacts on the beta spectrum. I'm not a physics student, thus I would like to seek for a help about the simple explanation that can be understand by non-physics major.

Any help is really appreciated!

You have, however, posted this as an A-level thread, which suggests responses at the physics post-graduate level.

What subject is your major?
 
Nuclear engineering. I'm working on beta spectrum calculation and I saw a lot of these term from journal papers.

As it stands, your question is pretty open. Could you share a link or two to journal articles or papers you are looking at? To the readers of the thread, is there anyone with a nuclear engineering background who could be pinged that might be more helpful in the specific application of the OP's questions?
 
If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
