Short Abstract

The UCNA group at LANL has observed that neutron β-decay is not spherically symmetric and is working toward a more precise measurement of this asymmetry. I am reconstructing the position of decay events in our new detector. Once installed, this upgraded detector will reach for precision beyond 0.2%.
