title = "Measurement of the 171Tm beta spectrum",
abstract = "The beta spectrum of the main transition of the β- decay of 171Tm was measured using a double focalizing spectrometer. The instrument was lately improved in order to reduce its low energy threshold to 34 keV. We used the spectrometer to measure the beta spectrum end-point energy of the main transition of 171Tm decay using the Kurie plot formalism. We report a new value of 97.60(38) keV, which is in agreement with previous measurements. In addition, the spectrum shape was compared with the ξ-approximation calculation where the shape factor is equal to 1 and good agreement was found between the theory and the measurement at the 1% level.",
