Hoffman, C M; Sandberg, V D

The possibility of improving the present limit on the mass of the muon neutrino is discussed. It is found that decays of muons and pions are not useful means to significantly improve this limit. On the other hand, the decays K/sup 0//sub L/ ..-->.. ..pi../sup +-/..mu../sup -+/nu/sub ..mu../ and K/sup +/ ..-->.. ..pi../sup 0/..mu../sup +/nu/sub ..mu../ appear to be quite promising. Possible experiments are discussed.
