摘要：

We report the first result for the electron-antineutrino angular correlation (a coefficient) in free neutron beta decay from the aCORN experiment. aCORN uses a novel method in which the a coefficient is proportional to an asymmetry in proton time of flight for events where the beta electron and recoil proton are detected in delayed coincidence. Data are presented from a 15 month run at the NIST Center for Neutron Research. We obtained a = -0.1090 +/- 0.0030(stat) +/- 0.0028(sys), the most precise measurement of the neutron a coefficient reported to date.
