An upper limit for the electron antineutrino mass from the Zurich experiment on tritium β-decay
- 1. Zurich Univ. (Switzerland). Inst. fuer Physik
Description
The endpoint region of the tritium β-spectrum has been measured with 27 eV resolution, using a magnetic spectrometer. The tritium activity was implanted into a thin layer of carbon. The neutrino mass determined is consistent with zero with an upper limit of 18 eV/c2, which includes instrumental and statistical uncertainties as well as uncertainties due to energy loss in the source and the final electronic states.
