Abstract
The beta-neutrino correlation coefficient, , in is inferred from detecting the and low-energy recoil daughter nucleus. is produced at the 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and 800 000 atoms are maintained in a magneto-optical trap. From the measured time of flight of recoil ions in the presence of a drift electric field, we find . There may be a dependence on the trapped atom population. This and other systematic uncertainties are discussed.
