Recent tritium beta decay experiments yield unphysical negative best-fit values for the square of the neutrino mass. An unidentified bump-like excess of counts few eV below the endpoint in the electron energy spectrum has been tentatively…
A proposed solution of the anomalous behavior of the electron spectrum near the endpoint of tritium $\beta$-decay is offered. It is based on a new theory of mass in which mass becomes a dynamical variable, and the electron in the tritium…
Numerous recent measurements indicate an excess of counts near the endpoint of the electron energy spectrum in tritium decay. We show that this effect is expected if the neutrino is a tachyon. Results of calculations, based on a unitary…
Recent experimental searches for neutrino mass in tritium beta decay yield a negative value for the mass-squared of the electron neutrino. If this effect is genuine, then it is hard to understand it using conventional particle physics ideas…
The issue of step-like anomalies in the tritium \beta-decay spectrum as measured in the Troitsk-\nu-mass experiment is addressed in the context of the new analysis in a systematic fashion using efficient statistical tests specifically…
The beta decay of tritium in the form of molecular TT is the basis of sensitive experiments to measure neutrino mass. The final-state electronic, vibrational, and rotational excitations modify the beta spectrum significantly, and are…
In this paper, we study the tritium $\beta-$decay in the field theory of the superluminal (faster-than-light) neutrino. We show how the unstable transient modes with $\vec{q} \cdot \vec{q} < m_{\nu}^2$ lead to an excess of events at the…
We avaluate the contribution of electron scattering on the rear wall of a windowless gaseous tritium source in the Troitsk nu-mass setup. There is a finite probability for them to scatter, return back and reach the detector. A such…
The final-state spectrum of $\beta$ decaying tritium anions T$^-$ was calculated. The wavefunctions describing the initial T$^-$ ground state and the final $^3$He states were obtained by the full configuration-interaction method. The…
We compute the spectrum of $\beta$-decay, assuming that (Majorana or Dirac) neutrinos propagate in constant potentials. We study the modifications of the spectrum due to the effect of these potentials. Data on tritium decay and on…
A series of high presicion atomic experiments was carried out last decade to get a better estimate for the electron (anti)neutrino mass $m_\nu$. The reaction to be observed is molecular tritium $\beta$- decay. The $m_\nu$ value serves as…
The beta-decay of a tritium nucleus produces an entangled quantum system, a beta electron, a helium nucleus, and an antineutrino. For finite collapse times, the post-collapse beta electron energy can originate from a range of pre-collapse…
We consider tritium beta decay with additional emission of light pseudoscalar or vector bosons coupling to electrons or neutrinos. The electron energy spectrum for all cases is evaluated and shown to be well estimated by approximated…
The transverse lepton polarization asymmetry in pi_l2gamma decays may probe T-violating interactions beyond the Standard Model. Dalitz plot distributions of the expected effects are presented and compared to the contribution from the…
We consider a Lorentz non-invariant dispersion relation for the neutrino, which would produce unexpected effects with neutrinos of few eV, exactly where the tritium beta-decay anomaly is found. We use this anomaly to put bounds on the…
Forthcoming experiments like Project8 and Ptolemy aim at investigating with high precision the end-point of the tritium $\beta$-decay spectrum sensitive to the neutrino mass. In light of this, using the standard parametrization in terms of…
The paper reports on the improved Mainz experiment on tritum $\beta$ spectroscopy which yields a 10 times' higher signal to background ratio than before. The main experimental effects and systematic uncertainties have been investigated in…
We note that the fine structure at the endpoint region of the beta decay spectrum is now essentially known using neutrino oscillation data, if the mass of one neutrino is specified. This may help to identify the effects of nonzero neutrino…
We present the relativistic calculation of the beta-decay of tritium in a hadron model. The elementary particle treatment of the transition 3H -> 3He + e^- + nu_e is performed in analogy with the description of the beta-decay of neutron.…
We study the phenomenological implications of breaking the Tri-Bimaximal (TBM) mixing in such a way that either first or second column of TBM mixing matrix remains invariant. We present two such textures and confront them with the…
