Abstract

Using a magnetic spectrometer at a momentum resolution of 0.3%, we have studied the beta spectrum from 35S. We do not see evidence for the admixture of a heavy neutrino to the usual light (m~0) ν̃e accompanying beta decay, in the mass range between 5 and 50 keV, with a limit for the mixing strength of |U|2<3×10^(-3) (90% confidence limit).
