spectroscopy which yields a 10 times higher signal to background ratio than before. The main experimental effects and systematic uncertainties have been investigated in side experiments, and possible error sources have been eliminated. Extensive data taking took place in the years 1997 to 2001. A residual analysis of the data sets yields for the square of the electron antineutrino mass the final result of

The Mainz neutrino mass experiment is investigating the endpoint region of the tritium β decay spectrum to determine the mass of the electron antineutrino. For this purpose we have developed a new type of spectrometer with magnetic adiabatic collimation and subsequent e lectrostatic filter (MAC-E filter) [1]. After finishing an extensive improvement programme in 1997 measurements have been resumed in 1998 with a 5 times higher signal rate and a two times lower background rate (≈ 15 mHz). Also the homogeneous thickness of the evaporated T2 source film could be stabilized by cooling it down to temperatures below 2 K. Thereby, previously observed systematic distortions of the spectrum by an uncontrolled energy loss in a dewetted, recrystalized film could be avoided [2,3]. On the other hand, we have discovered and explained a charging of the T2 film up to a critical field strength of 62 MV/m due to the residual daughter ions after β decay [4]. Until end of 2001, 12 runs (Q1 Q12) covering a total measuring time of one year will have been performed with the upgraded apparatus. Results up to Q5 have been published in ref. [5] with the result mν = (3.7 ± 5.3stat ± 2.1sys) eV/c which corresponds to an upper limit for the neutrino mass of mν ≤ 2.8 eV/c 2 (95 % C.l.). In a recent update [6] runs up to Q8 are included in the analysis yielding (preliminarly) mν = (1.6 ± 2.5stat ± 2.1sys) eV/c and mν ≤ 2.2 eV/c (95 % C.l.).

The presently lowest limit for the mass of the electron neutrino is mν < 2.2 eV (95 % C.L.) derived from measurements at Mainz up to 1999. The data taken in 2000 are not fully analyzed yet but limits of possible distortions as reported by the Troitsk group can be given. The next generation neutrino mass experiment KATRIN is briefly discussed.
