✦ Synopsis

Con leave from JINR, Dubna/Russia

The present status of the Mainz tritium ~ decay experiments is given. The very recent improvement of the Mainz setup and the first results from tritium data are presented. The former trend towards negative values of m~ for increasing data intervals was identified to be a roughening transition of the quench-condensed T2 film, which now can be avoided.
