Scientific paper

The proposal by Jerkins et al (2010 New J. Phys. 12 043022) to determine the neutrino mass from a complete kinematic reconstruction of the β-decay of trapped, cold tritium atoms is reanalyzed here. It is found that this innovative concept will hardly lead to competitive results because of the following shortcomings that have been identified: (i) a viable concept for a β-spectrometer with the required performance is missing; (ii) a factor of 106 in the event rate is missing; and (iii) controlling spurious electromagnetic potentials to the level of 10-13 Tm and 10-9 V is hardly conceivable.
