We report the results of an improved determination triple correlation $D P \cdot(p_{e}\times p_{\nu})$ that can be used to limit possible time-reversal invariance in beta decay polarized neutrons and constrain extensions Standard Model. Our result is $D=(-0.96\pm 1.89 (stat)\pm 1.01 (sys))\times 10^{-4}$. The corresponding phase between g_A g_V $\phi_{AV} = 180.013^\circ\pm0.028^\circ$ (68 % confidence level).
