Popis:	The end point region of the tritium beta-spectrum has been studied on the “Troitsk ν -mass” set-up during 1993–1997. Fits to the data give evidence for the existence of a bump-like structure placed 5–12 eV below end point with a relative intensity about 10 −10 . The comparison of the anomaly region of the spectrum measured at different time reveals a movement of the bump position back and forth with respect to end point energy. After accounting for the bump and a correction for effect of electron trapping in the source the shape of all the measured part of the beta spectrum agree with m ν 2 about zero thus eliminating the problem of “negative m ν 2 ”. An upper limit for the neutrino mass including only data of 1994–1996 runs is: m ν eV / c 2 at 95% C.L.
