Measurements of β-ν angular correlation parameter in nuclear β decays

Correlation measurements in beta transitions are performed at low energy with high precision to highlight new physics beyond the Standard Model. In LPC-Caen, the team 'Interactions fondamentales' has built an ion trapping based set-up, LPCTrap, installed at LIRAT-GANIL and initially dedicated to the precise measurement of the beta-v angular correlation parameter in the pure Gamow-Teller decay of 6He nuclei. This parameter is sensitive to the coupling constants of weak interaction, and its precise determination enables to search for exotic tensor contribution. The goal of the present work is twofold. First, the progress of this 6He project is presented in its theoretical and experimental framework, and, secondly, short and mean range plans at GANIL in this fundamental field are discussed. (author)
