We report on a precise measurement of the electron-antineutrino angular correlation (coefficient) in free neutron beta decay from theexperiment. Thecoefficient is inferred from the recoil energy spectrum of the protons which are detected inby thespectrometer using magnetic adiabatic collimation with an electrostatic filter. Data are presented from a 100-day run at the Institut Laue Langevin in 2013. The sources of systematic errors are considered and included in the final result. We obtainwhich is the most precise measurement of the neutroncoefficient to date. From this, the ratio of axial vector to vector coupling constants is derived giving.
