The papers in this volume summarize the limitations of present experiments, the discussion of new experiments in planning stage, and the discussion of systematic effects that must be addressed to achieve a lifetime measurement at an accuracy of 0.1 second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCover image courtesy of Elena Fernández, Los Alamos National Laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a great interest in improving the limits on neutron lifetime to the level of a precision of 0.1 s.
