The beta decay of tritium in the form of molecular T_{2} is the basis of sensitive experiments to measure neutrino mass. The final-state electronic, vibrational, and rotational excitations modify the beta spectrum significantly and are obtained from theory. We report measurements of the branching ratios to specific ionization states for the isotopolog HT.

- The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) used 3He proportional counters to measure neutral-current interactions in heavy water, determining the total active 8B solar neutrino flux with a new method.
- The measured total flux was found to be 5.54 with specific uncertainties, consistent with earlier findings and standard solar models.
- A comprehensive analysis of solar and reactor neutrino data suggested a new value for Deltam2 and improved precision in the mixing angle theta compared to earlier SNO results.
Solar neutrinos from (8)B decay have been detected at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory via the charged current (CC) reaction on deuterium and the elastic scattering (ES) of electrons. The flux of nu(e)'s is measured by the CC reaction rate to be straight phi(CC)(nu(e)) = 1.75 +/- 0.
