✦ Synopsis

Motivation for time reversal violation studies in nuclear and neutron weak decay is discussed with an emphasis on searches for the exotic tensor and scalar weak interaction. The results of the experiment with polarized 8Li are updated. A new experiment with the aim to determine the transverse polarization of electrons emitted by free, polarized neutrons, is proposed. A facility for neutron decay studies with polarized cold neutrons is under construction at the spallation source SINQ-PSI.
