SUMMARY:Neutron beta-decay with Ultra-Cold Neutrons\, NPAC (Nuclear/Pa
 rticle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Brad Filippone\, Caltech
DESCRIPTION:Ultra-Cold Neutrons - UCN - (E < 350 neV) can be trapped i
 n material bottles and with magnetic fields. The UCNA collaboration ha
 s recently measured the beta-decay electron distribution from polarize
 d neutron decay for the first time using UCN. The use of UCN suppresse
 s a variety of systematic experimental effects compared to previous ex
 periments using cold neutron beams. This allows for precision measurem
 ents of some Standard Model electroweak observables as well as searche
 s for new physics. Results from this new experiment will be discussed 
 along with prospects for future measurements. <br>
