Neutron decay is well described by theory. Accurate measurements of correlations in this semileptonic decay allow high precision tests of the Standard Model and physics beyond, i.e. unitarity of quark mixing CKM matrix, right handed currents or scalar and tensor interactions. With the new spectrometer Perkeo III we measured the parity-violating Beta-asymmetry described by the correlation-coefficient A. We improved systematics as well as statistics. The measurement is virtually background-free due to the use of a pulsed cold neutron beam. The instrument was installed at the high flux neutron source at the ILL. Data taking has been finished in August 2009. We present the current status of the data analysis.
