Abstract: (APS)

By measuring the cyclotron frequency ratios of He+3 to HD+ and T+ to HD+, and using HD+ as a mass reference, we obtain new atomic masses for He3 and T. Our results are M[He3]=3.016 029 322 43(19) u and M[T]=3.016 049 281 78(19) u, where the uncertainty includes an uncertainty of 0.12 nu in the mass reference. Allowing for cancellation of common systematic errors, we find the Q value for tritium β decay to be (M[T]−M[He3])c2=18 592.01(7) eV. This allows an improved test of systematics in measurements of tritium β decay that set limits on neutrino mass.

As discussed in this reference, it is only useful to use the mass difference from a Penning trap measurement to constrain if both the Penning trap measurement and the absolute energy calibration of KATRIN reach the few-meV level, 173
