Abstract

We present new precision measurements of angular correlation coefficients in polarized neutron decay. We have obtained values for the electron asymmetry coefficient A, the neutrino asymmetry coefficient B, and for the proton asymmetry coefficient C. In combination with other results, the new measurements are used to derive limits on "Physics beyond the Standard Model".
