We present the first measurements of tritium beta-decay spectrum in the electron energy range 16-18.6 keV. The goal is to find distortions which may correspond to the presence of a heavy sterile neutrinos. A possible contribution of this…
Of the the three best-measured electroweak observables, $\alpha$, $G_\mu$ and $M_Z$, the first two are extracted from low-energy processes. Both $G_\mu$ and $M_Z$ are now known to an accuracy of about 2 parts in $10^5$ and there is a…
