- Enhanced precision in measuring the electron-antineutrino correlation coefficient.

## Abstract

From April 2013 to the beginning of August 2013, the aSPECT spectrometer was installed on a cold neutron beam facility at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in order to realize a high-precision measurement of the electron-antineutrino angular correlation coefficient a. Among all the upgrades that were made during the past years, a new state-of-the-art acquisition system has been tested during this beam time. This internship report details the behavior of this new system.
