Abstract:

The result on the e⁺ spectrum end point in µ⁺ decay obtained by the Berkeley group is reinterpreted from the standpoint of the Majorana neutriono. If the masses of the right-handed Majorana neutrinos are much heavier than m_µ, no limits for the V + A weak interaction parameters can be drawn from this experiment.
