Free muon production and decay are investigated, assuming a non-zero mass of the muon's neutrino ( nu mu ). The quantity most sensitive to the mass (m) of the nu /sub i is the shape of the electron spectrum from isotropic mu /sup +/-decay, near the maximum electron energy. A probable upper limit of 5 electron masses is set for m, using data on the maximum electron energy. A more accurate evaluation is possible if data are obtained on the shape of the isotropic electron spectrum. (auth)
