Abstract
The UCNA experiment is designed to measure the neutron decay beta asymmetry (the "A" parameter) to very high precision (<0.5%), using the ultracold neutron (UCN) source at the Los Alamos National Lab. After a successful commissioning run in 2007, data were taken in 2008 which will lead to a 1% measurement of A. In this talk, I will discuss major improvements we made in 2008, and report the status of data analysis.
