Precision measurements in neutron decay T. Soldner (ILL)

Thursday 16 Dec 2010, 11:00 → 12:00 Europe/Paris

Precise measurements of correlations between the decay products in neutron beta decay allow to derive parameters of the standard model of particle physics but also to search for new physics. I will introduce the observables, present recent experiments at the ILL, and introduce the novel instrument PERC. The talk will focus on experimental techniques and challenges.
