Electron evaporation from magnetic trap in “Troitsk nu-mass” experiment
This paper is dedicated to simulation of so-called trapping-effect observed in Troitsk nu-mass experiment. The effect is caused by magnetic trapping of decay electrons in the windowless gaseous tritium source and the gradual of evaporation of those electrons...
As a result, alongside regular tritium beta-spectrum electrons, we see additional electrons that are initially trapped in the source and escape it with changed energy. The spectrum of evaporated electrons is quite peculiar and could not be directly measured in the experiment. So one have to rely on simulations. Also it is possible that the same effect and
