On the strength of the evidence for the 17 keV neutrino.
Abstract
The authors have performed an independent reanalysis of the 1991 35S beta decay experiments at Oxford that were asserted to provide evidence for a 17 keV component of the electron antineutrino. Although the form of the response function used in the original analysis did not properly account for all of the processes in the Oxford spectrometer, the distortion seen in the original analysis persists even when these effects are incorporated, although it is no longer consistent with a 17 keV neutrino.
