Abstract

The limits on time-reversal invariant tensor-type weak currents from nuclear and neutron β\beta decays are evaluated including most recent experimental data. We find that 0.14×102<(CT+CT)/CA<1.4×102 -0.14 \times 10^{-2} < (C_T + C^\prime_T)/C_A < 1.4 \times 10^{-2} and 0.16<(CTCT)/CA<0.16 -0.16 < (C_T - C^\prime_T)/C_A < 0.16 (90% C.L.), while for the case CT=CTC_T = C^\prime_T the limits are CT/CA<3.7×103 | C_T/C_A | < 3.7 \times 10^{-3} . These limits are shown to be more stringent than those from recent measurements of the radiative pion decay. In addition, the sensitivity of future 10310^{-3}-level correlation measurements is investigated.
