Engineering Physics Annotation << Back REVISITING THE REST MASS OF THE NEUTRINO А.А. KOLESNIKOV, E.А. KOLESNIKOVA The conventional theory of β-decay and the Deformation model approaches are comparative analyzed. Based on the Deformation model, the shock acceleration of the particle mass is the cause of the neutrino generation. Particularly, in case of β-decay the cause of the neutrino generation is the shock acceleration of the electron or positron that has broken away from the nucleus. According to the Deformation model, the neutrino does not have the rest mass. It is proposed to estimate the boundary energy of the β-spectrum to prove out that the neutrino is the particle without the rest mass. The lower energy beta-ray spectrum boundaries and β-decay energy relation is analyzed. The neutrino generation correlation to the earthquake activity has been found experimentally, that is consistent with the Deformation model, based on which the shock acceleration of the particle mass is the cause of the neutrino generation. Key words: neutrino radiation energy, shock acceleration, -decay, rest mass of the neutrino, lower energy -ray spectrum boundaries.
