Description
He6-CRES is a precision nuclear beta-decay experiment using the technique of cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy (CRES) to preform beta-spectra measurements. We determine the energy of the beta by measuring the frequency of the cyclotron radiation when the beta decay occurs within a magnetic field. This aims to be a sensitive search for chirality-flipping interactions through the Fierz interference coefficient 'b'. This talk will introduce the He6-CRES experiment and present our first preliminary beta spectrum. I will also share insights we have gained on doing broadband CRES measurements of beta spectra spanning several MeV.
