Abstract

This article 1 describes the current experimental situation of the electron antineutrino mass measurement from the study of tritium β-decay, 3H → 3He+e- + v e. This is the most direct method to measure the neutrino mass without relying upon any particular assumptions. Namely, this is compared with the counter examples: the measurement of the neutrino-less double β-decay provides information on the neutrino mass averaged over neutrino species with the weight of the mixing angle squared, under the assumption that the neutrinos are Majorana type particles [1]; study of neutrino oscillation results in the neutrino mass in terms of mass-square difference, Δm 2 = m 2 vi - m 2 vj . (i and j are indices for neutrino flavour), only when the mixing exists between different flavours [2]. The method using tritium α-decay is only based upon the kinematics of the decay process. The masses of the muon neutrino, m vμ , and tau neutrino, m vτ are also being studied by similar direct methods in the decays of π meson and tau lepton, respectively, and their current respective upper limits are obtained as 270 keV [3] and 31 MeV [4].
