G. Darius,W. A. Byron,C. DeAngelis,M. T. Hassan,Fred E. Wietfeldt,B. Collett,Gordon L. Jones,Maynard S. Dewey,M. P. Mendenhall,Jeffrey S. Nico,H. Park,A. Komives,E. J. Stephenson +12 more
TL;DR: The first result for the electron-antineutrino angular correlation (a coefficient) in free neutron β decay from the aCORN experiment is reported, with the most precise measurement of the neutron a coefficient reported to date.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the results of the second run at the NIST Center for Neutron Research, using the high-flux cold neutron beam on the new NG-C neutron guide end position: $a=\ensuremath{-} 0.10758\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.00136(\text{stat})

TL;DR: In this article, the electron-antineutrino angular correlation coefficient in free neutron decay is measured using a measurement technique in which the angular correlation is converted into a proton time-of-flight asymmetry that is counted directly, avoiding the need for proton spectroscopy.

TL;DR: An apparatus used to measure the electron-antineutrino angular correlation coefficient in free neutron decay employs a novel measurement technique in which the angular correlation is converted into a proton time-of-flight asymmetry that is counted directly, avoiding the need for proton spectroscopy.
