Abstract

Measurements of the tritium beta end-point energy in tritium-implanted Si(Li) detectors are discussed in the light of current interest in the 3H 3He atomic mass difference. The role of radiation damage is crucial in assessing such measurements. The discussion is illustrated by a new measurement of the end-point energy in an implanted Si(Li) detector, giving a value 18594 eV with a statistical error of ±4 eV and an estimated systematic uncertainty of ±25 eV.
