Abstract
We have measured the internal bremsstrahlung spectrum of the electron capture decay of in search for a possible mass component of the emitted neutrino. The main relevance of this experiment is given by the collected statistics which is 20 times larger than in a previously published work studying the same decay. Analyses of the data exclude the presence of a massive component of 17. keV and (1.6±0.7)% mixing fraction claimed by Zlimen et al. for this same nucleus, at the 99.0% confidence level.
