We present the first measurement of the α-β-ν angular correlation in the Gamow-Teller β^{+} decay of ^{8}B. This was accomplished using the Beta-decay Paul Trap, expanding on our previous work on the β^{-} decay of ^{8}Li. The ^{8}B result is consistent with the V-A electroweak interaction of the standard model and, on its own, provides a limit on the exotic right-handed tensor current relative to the axial-vector current of |C_{T}/C_{A}|^{2}<0.

Search for a new kind of superfluidity built on collective proton-neutron pairs with aligned spin is performed studying the Gamow-Teller decay of the T=1, J(π)=0+ ground state of (62)Ge into excited states of the odd-odd N=Z nucleus (62)Ga. The experiment is performed at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Shwerionenforshung with the (62)Ge ions selected by the fragment separator and implanted in a stack of Si-strip detectors, surrounded by the RISING Ge array. A half-life of T1/2=82.

Laser cooling and atomic trapping techniques have been employed to confine polarized 82Rb atoms ( T1/2 = 75 s) in a magnetic time-orbiting-potential (TOP) trap. We have observed the parity-violating correlation between the emitted positron momentum and the parent nuclear spin as a continuous function of angle and positron energy for this pure Gamow-Teller (GT) transition. These proof-of-principle measurements demonstrate the utility of exploring fundamental symmetries in a TOP trap and the steps required to improve sensitivity in the search for physics beyond the standard model.
