Abstract

The anomalies observed in ß-decay measurements at Oxford can be reinterpreted after account is made for a more complete electron response function. Specifically, a reanalysis including intermediate scattering effects places an upper limit (90% CL) on the mixing probability for a 17-keV neutrino of 0.35% and 0.53%, using the 35S and 63Ni data respectively. Despite the different geometries employed, scattering effects can play an important role in the 35S experiments at Guelph, although a rigorous treatment is difficult. Missing links remains, and thoughts are provided on how the situation can be clarified with additional ß-dacay measurements.
