Results of the first experiment to search for the radiative decay mode of the free neutron are reported. The γspectrum was studied in the energy region from 35 keV to 100 keV in six Cs(Tl) scintillators, each set at an angle of 35° to, and shielded from, a central plastic scintillator electron detector. Triple coincidences were recorded with recoil protons detected in a micro-channel plate. A limit for the branching ratio BR ≥ 6.9 x 10-3 (90 % confidence level) was obtained, which is greater that the theoretical prediction by not more than a few tenths of a percent.
