Description
The PERC experiment is currently under construction at the new beam port MEPHISTO at the FRM II. It aims to measure correlation parameters in neutron beta decay with an accuracy improved by one order of magnitude to a level of $10^{-4}$.
We will present an overview of the demanding experimental constraints for this precision experiment with a focus on the beamline with its neutron optical components. In particular, this experiment requires a completely non-depolarizing supermirror coating made from Copper/Titanium. We present the current status of its development of as well as results for a solid-state neutron polarizer made from Iron/Silicon layers.
