Relativistic cyclotron radiation detection of tritium decay electrons as a new technique for measuring the neutrino mass
The shape of the beta-decay energy distribution is sensitive to the mass of the electron neutrino. Attempts to measure the endpoint shape of tritium decay have so far seen no distortion from the zero-mass form, thus placing an upper limit of mνβ<2.3 eV. Here, we show that a new type of electron...
