The neutron decay spectrometer aSPECT was designed to measure accurately the proton spectrum of the free neutron decay. The knowledge of the proton spectrum allows to extract the neutrino electron angular correlation coefficient a, from which we will determine with highest accuracy the ratio λ = gA/gV of the weak coupling constants of the nucleon.
After successful beamtimes in 2005/06 at the FRM-II near Munich we continue the measurements at the ILL in Grenoble.
Latest results and experiences with a new proton detector, which is a silicon drift detector, will be presented.
