Limit on the Fierz Interference Term b from a Measurement of the Beta Asymmetry in Neutron Decay
Heiko Saul, Christoph Roick, Hartmut Abele +7
In the standard model of particle physics, the weak interaction is described by vector and axial-vector couplings only. Non-zero scalar or tensor interactions would imply an additi…
Undetected Electron Backscattering in PERKEO III
Christoph Roick, Heiko Saul, Hartmut Abele +1
The beta asymmetry in neutron beta decay is used to determine the ratio of axial-vector coupling to vector coupling most precisely. In electron spectroscopy, backscattering of elec…
Exotic decay channels are not the cause of the neutron lifetime anomaly
D. Dubbers, H. Saul, B. Märkisch +2
Since long neutron lifetimes measured with a beam of cold neutrons are significantly different from lifetimes measured with ultracold neutrons bottled in a trap. It is often specul…
Measurement of the Weak Axial-Vector Coupling Constant in the Decay of Free Neutrons Using a Pulsed Cold Neutron Beam
Bastian Märkisch, Holger Mest, Heiko Saul +8
We present a precision measurement of the axial-vector coupling constant in the decay of polarized free neutrons. For the first time, a pulsed cold neutron beam was used for…
