New Result for the $\beta$-decay Asymmetry Parameter $A_{0}$ from the UCNA Experiment*

The UCNA Experiment at the Ultracold Neutron facility at LANL uses polarized ultracold neutrons (UCN) to determine the neutron $\beta$-decay asymmetry parameter $A_0$, the angular correlation between the neutron spin and the decay electron's momentum. $A_0$ further determines $\lambda=g_A/g_V$, which, when combined with the neutron lifetime, permits extraction of the CKM matrix element $V_{ud}$ solely from neutron decay. In the UCNA experiment, UCN are produced in a pulsed, spallation driven solid deuterium source, polarized using a 7 T magnetic field, and transported through an Adiabatic Fast Passage (AFP) spin flipper prior to storage within a 1 T solenoidal spectrometer housing electron detectors at each end. The spin-flipper allows one to form a super-ratio of decay rates for neutron spins aligned parallel and anti-parallel to the 1 T magnetic field, eliminating to first order errors due to variations in the decay rate and detector efficiencies. Leading systematics and analysis techniques from the most recent analysis of data collected from 2011-2013 will be presented.
