Abstract

The weak interaction between nucleons remains one of the most poorly-understood sectors of the Standard Model. A quantitative description of this interaction is needed to understand weak interaction phenomena in atomic, nuclear, and hadronic systems. This paper outlines a set of measurements involving low energy neutrons which can lead to significant experimental progress.
