Abstract
Several two- and one-dimensional distributions of unpolarized free-neutron decay are calculated. The results of the order- model-independent radiative correction calculations are tabulated numerically. With these corrections the theoretical distributions become precise enough to make possible the determination of the ratio of the axial-vector to the vector weak coupling constants to a precision of ∼0.001.
