Abele et al.(perkeo II), PRL 88 (2002) Improvements for new data: thinner windows, better calibration, higher statistics; analysis for more data (20x) under way λ accessible via decay asymmetry A or other correlations, e.g., a see HK 74.1 M. Simson et al.
28 The next 10 years will bring new high intensity UCN sources (x100), next generation nedm results (x100), new neutron lifetime results (x10), improved decay correlation SM-tests ( x10), more tests of weak couplings, QM, gravity, Lorentz-invariance (some first ever exps.), all together, a bright time for fundamental physics with low energy neutrons! 28
