Abstract

— We describe an experiment to search for the P-even and T-odd correlation of the form D J · pe Ee × pν Eν in neutron beta decay. Our result, D = (−0.96±1.89 (stat)±1.01 (sys))×10−4 improves previous limits and now represents the most sensitive measurement of D in nuclear beta decays. According to the Standard Model D should be much smaller, so this search is a probe for potential new physics.
