Description
One possible extention of the standard model of particle physics is the addition of left-handed scalar and tensor currents to the well-established V-A model of the weak interaction. These contributions can be tested by nuclear beta decay. The 0+ - 0+ decay of 10C and other light even-even nuclei can in particular determine limits on scalar currents.
In an experiment at ISOLDE, we have determined the branching ratio of the 0+ - 0+ branch of 10C decay with high precision. The results of this experiment will be presented and its limitations will be discussed. An outlook to a possible future experiment at ISOLDE under improved conditions will also be discussed.
