Precision Beta Decay as a Probe of New Physics

Abstract

The document presents a summary of discussions at recent workshops at the Amherst Center for Fundamental Interactions at Amherst, MA, and at the European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas at Trento, Italy, on the potential sensitivity of precision beta-decay experiments towards new physics.
