Neutron β Decay: Status and Future of the Asymmetry Measurement
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
With more intense sources of cold and ultracold neutrons becoming available and with improved experimental techniques being developed, determination of ΙVud l from neutron β decay with a similar precision to that from from superallowed β decays is within reach. Determination of IVud l from neutron β decay, free from nuclear corrections, holds the most promise for a further improvement of the determination of IVud l· The current and future neutron β decay correlation experiments including the UCNA experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory are reviewed.
