Abstract

A summary is presented of experiments which test time reversal invariance in nuclear beta decay. The principal measurements are of the angular correlation {Mathematical expression} for which in neutron and19Ne beta decay one finds an upper limit of D≲10-3. As a second topic we also summarize the status of certain angular correlation measurements that bear on the question of second class currents.
