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?
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
