STRUCTURE OF THE WEAK INTERACTION IN NUCLEAR BETA DECAY general Lorentz invariant 4-fermion interaction Fermi, 1933 : 4-fermion interaction Lee & Yang, 1956; Wu et al., 1957 : parity violation with i = Scalar, Vector, Tensor, Axial vector, Pseudoscalar and coupling constants C i defining properties of the interaction types

In the Standard Model : * C V = 1 (CVC) * C A = -1.27 ( g A /g V = -1.2697(6) from n-decay ) * C V ’ = C V & C A ’ = C A (maximal P-violation) * C S = C S ’ = C T = C T ’ = C P = C P ’ 0 (only V- and A-currents) experimental upper limits: (neutron and nuclear -decay) * no time reversal violation (except for the CP-violation described by the phase in the CKM quark-mixing matrix) from: N. Severijns, M. Beck, O. Naviliat-Cuncic, Rev. Mod. Phys., accepted

Limits (95 % CL) on possible new bosons for S- and T-interactions, from high-energies: mass limit for H ± (charged Higgs) : > 79.3 GeV (LEP-ALEPH) mass limit for leptoquarks : > 242 GeV (from pair production; combined CDF-D0) : > 298 GeV (from single production; ZEUS) Limits for f T from K ± decay [Particle Data group, Phys. Lett. B592 (2004) 1 ] : |f T / f + | = 0.012(23) from K ± e3 decay |f T / f + | < 0.058 (95% C.L.) |f T / f + | = 0.001(7) from K ± 3 decay |f T / f + | < 0.015 (95% C.L.)

Other experiments 1.Leuven - A GT 60 Co and 133 Xe, with LTNO and 15 T external magnetic field instead of hyperfine field ( I.S. Kraev, N. Severijns et al., in preparation ) 2.Los Alamos - A GT 82 Rb in MOT atom trap; m/E = 0.13 ( S.G. Crane et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 86 (2001) 2967 - D.J. Vieira et al., Hyp.Int. 127 (2000) 387 ) 3.LPC-Caen (O. Naviliat et al) - a GT 6 He in Paul ion trap ( P. Delahaye al., Hyp.Int. 132 (2001) 479 ) All experiments are aiming at a precision of 0.5% to 1% !
