Title:
Neutron Physics in a Contemporary Perspective

Abstract:
In this talk, I will attempt to give an overview of
the neutron physics in the context of nuclear physics.
For decades, physicists have been performing measurements
on the process of neutron beta-decay to refine the electroweak
theory in the standard model. Recently, research focus 
in the field of fundamental neutron physics is shifting 
towards stringent tests of the presumed symmetries. 
Broken symmetries would give rise to exotic processes which
could be measured in high precision experiments, without
background of the standard model. Experiments of this kind
include the search of the electric dipole moment of the neutron,
and the neutron anti-neutron oscillation. New opportunities
like these emerge with the availability of ultra-cold neutrons(UCN).
I will also talk about ongoing studies on current and 
future UCN source.
