A shortbiography Christoph Wuttke, Mass of the Neutrino 1930: Processof Beta Decay (nucleus + electron) did not matchwithconservationofenergy, momentumand angular momentum. Wolfgang Pauli postulated a newparticletodescribetheseproblems andcalledit „Neutron“. 1932: James Chadwick discoveredthe neutral massive particel in nucleisand also namedit „Neutron“. 1933: Enrico Fermi namedthefirst „Neutron“ „Neutrino“. Thisconfusion was onlyabouttheelectronneutrino !!! Discovery: NeutrinoTheoreticalExperimental Electron 1930 (Wolfgang Pauli) 1956 (C.Cowan, F.Reines) Myon Late 1940s 1962 (L.Lederman, M.Schwartz,J.Steinberger) Taon Mid 1970s 2000 (DONUT Collaboration)

Why Tritium? Christoph Wuttke, Mass of the Neutrino - Small decayenergy (18.57 keV) easiertodetectslowelectrons - Long Half-lifeof 12.3 years - Becauseofsmallenergy highvariation in Kurie-Plot - Tritium Fermifunction nodistortionofβ-spectrum
