We report on the status of an experiment aiming to determine the angular correlation coefficient between the electron and the anti‐neutrino in the pure Gamow‐Teller decay of 6He. Such measurement is motivated by the search for the presence of tensor type contributions to the weak interaction. The experiment uses a setup where 6He ions are confined in a novel transparent Paul trap. Electrons and recoiling ions are detected in coincidence to deduce the angular correlation coefficient. First direct in trap decays have been recorded. © 2006 American Institute of Physics
