Abstract

Neutron and nuclear beta decay correlation coefficients are linearly sensitive to the exotic scalar and tensor interactions that are not included in the Standard Model. The proposed experiment will measure simultaneously 11 neutron correlation coefficients (aa, AA, BB, DD, HH, LL, NN, RR, SS, UU, VV) where 5 of them (HH, LL, SS, UU, VV) were never addressed before. Silicon pixel detectors are considered as promising alternative to multi-wire gas chambers devoted for electron tracking in the original setup. The expected sensitivity limits for ϵS\epsilon_S and ϵT\epsilon_T -- EFT parameters describing the scalar and tensor contributions to be extracted from the transverse electron polarization related coefficients HH, LL, NN, RR, SS, UU, VV are discussed.
