Description

The study of particle angular correlations in free neutron decay provides important information about β-decay coupling constants, the structure of the hadronic weak current and possible extensions to the Standard Model. New experiments are expected to substantially reduce the uncertainty in the parity violating β-asymmetry A. The value of Vud, which is currently derived from Jπ=0+ β-transition life times, might soon become available directly from neutron data. An experiment which looks for time reversal violation in internal pair creation following polarized neutron capture on is briefly discussed. (author) 7 refs
