Description

Internal bremsstrahlung in the electron capture decay of 55Fe has been studied to investigate the possible existence of neutrinos in the mass range of 16.4 → 17.4 keV. We obtain a negative result and, at the 99.7% confidence level, our limit for the fraction of emitted neutrinos in the mass range of 16.4 → 17.4 keV is < 0.0074. (orig.)
