“…The first experiments on the measurement of the neutrino mass, based on the FermiPerrin method, yielded the upper bound m ν 500 eV [7] which was improved in the fifties to m ν 250 eV [8]. Therefore, it became evident that the neutrino mass (if non-zero at all) is much smaller than the electron mass.…”

“…They used a proportional counter filled with gaseous tritium. In 1952, Langer and Moffat [67] investigated the beta spectrum of tritium using a magnetic spectrometer and obtained a value of 250 eV for an upper bound on the neutrino mass. They employed a thin (0.5 mg cm À2 ) source which was prepared by evaporating succinic acid saturated with tritium.…”
