✦ Synopsis

First results are presented from an experiment that aims at the simultaneous determination of both transversal polarization components of electrons emitted in the decay of free neutronstwo observables that have never before been addressed experimentally. They reveal first-order sensitivity to real and imaginary parts of the exotic scalar and tensor interactions.
