Title: beta. -decay asymmetry of the free neutron

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5473712· OSTI ID:5473712

The ..beta..-decay of polarized neutrons has been studied with the new superconducting spectrometer PERKEO at the ILL. The energy dependence of the ..beta..-decay asymmetry has been measured for the first time. From the measured ..beta..-asymmetry parameter we obtain a new value for the ratio of weak coupling constants g/sub A//g/sub V/. 11 references.
