Abstract
A method of analysis is proposed which may provide a better limit for the neutrino mass when analyzing Kurie plots of the beta spectrum from tritium beta decay near the end-point energy. By determining the sign of the second derivative of the Kurie plot, it is possible to place an upper or lower limit to the neutrino mass of about 35 eV. However, the method demands data of sufficient accuracy.Keywords
