The most familiar manifestation of the weak interaction is nuclear beta decay, and the most elementary beta-active nucleus is the neutron. An examination is presented of the advantages and limitations of the various experimental techniques brought to bear on this field of investigation, as well as the implications of the results obtained for both fundamental theory and for cosmology. Although parity and nonconserving effects at the level of 0.0001 are well established in neutron capture and scattering, and in slow neutron-induced fission, uncertainties remain and it is noted that neutron-proton system experimental results are inconsistent. Experimental data on neutron beta decay, however, are essentially complete with respect to the fundamental structure of weak charged currents.
