Abstract
Allowed beta decay is studied using the elementary particle approach including all second forbidden terms. Model independent forms are given for various spectrum and correlation effects with parent polarization and/or orientation and for delayed particle emission correlations. The restrictions due to various symmetry assumptions are analyzed, as well as the problem of Coulomb corrections. We comment on past and future experiments in this realm.
