The Mott polarimetry for T -Violation (MTV) experiment tests time-reversal symmetry in polarized nuclear beta decay by measuring an electrons transverse polarization as a form of angular asymmetry in Mott scattering using a thin metal foil. A Mott scattering analyzer system developed using a tracking detector to measure scattering angles offers better event selectivity than conventional counter experiments. In this paper, we describe a pilot experiment conducted at KEK-TRIAC using a prototype system with a polarized 8Li beam. The experiment confirmed the sound performance of our Mott analyzer system to measure T-violating triple correlation (R correlation), and therefore recommends its use in higher-precision experiments at the TRIUMF-ISAC.
Using TRIUMFs neutral atom trap, TRINAT, for nuclear $beta$ decay, we have measured the $beta$ asymmetry with respect to the initial nuclear spin in $^{37}mathrm{K}$ to be $A_beta=-0.5707(13)_mathrm{syst}(13)_mathrm{stat}(5)_mathrm{pol}$, a 0.3% meas
The aCORN experiment uses a novel asymmetry method to measure the electron-antineutrino correlation (a-coefficient) in free neutron decay that does not require precision proton spectroscopy. aCORN completed two physics runs at the NIST Center for Neu
We report a direct measurement of the Q-value of the neutrinoless double-beta-decay candidate 48Ca at the TITAN Penning-trap mass spectrometer, with the result that Q = 4267.98(32) keV. We measured the masses of both the mother and daughter nuclides,
Some recent work in nuclear beta decay related to the value of |Vud| is described along with some near-term goals for future measurements.
Measurements of the beta-neutrino correlation coefficient (a$_{beta u}$) in nuclear beta decay, together with the Fierz interference term (b$_F$), provide a robust test for the existence of exotic interactions beyond the Standard Model of Particle Ph
