摘要：

We report on a new measurement of neutron beta-decay asymmetry. From the result A(0) = -0.1189(7) , we derive the ratio of the axial vector to the vector coupling constant lambda=g(A)/g(V)=-1.2739(19) . When included in the world average for the neutron lifetime tau=885.7(7) s , this gives the first element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix V-ud . With this value and the Particle Data Group values for V-us and V-ub , we find a deviation from the unitarity condition for the first row of the CKM matrix of Delta=0.0083(28) , which is 3.0 times the stated error.
