We will present new perspectives on neutron beta decay measurements at FRM2.
Searches for physics beyond the standard model of particle physics are performed at high and at low energies. With the high measurement precision and reliable theory predictions, neutron beta decay experiments address new physics at the 10 TeV scale. We present the status of the upcoming neutron decay facility PERC at the MLZ and discuss future measurements.
Precision experiments with UCN, such as the search for a possible electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron or the measurement of the lifetime of the free neutron, require high UCN densities. Stronger UCN sources are presently developed worldwide, based on the principle of superthermal UCN production, using cryo-converters made of solid deuterium (sD2) or superfluid helium. At the FRM II a...
