New Physics in Neutron Beta Decay

Understand

Limits on parameters describing physics beyond the Standard Model are presented.

• The most general Lorentz invariant effective Hamiltonian at the quark-lepton level involving vector, scalar and tensor operators has been used.
• The fits have been done using the most precise and up to date experimental data for correlation coefficients measured in free neutron beta decay as well as the Fierz term measured in superallowed Fermi decays.
