Abstract :
The effect of undetected imperfections of the energy scale on the results of electron spectroscopy experiment is studied for the conditions close to the tritium β-decay experiment KATRIN (KATRIN Collaboration, 2001, arxiv: hep-ex/0109033). A numerical model of the experiment is developed, verified, and used to deduce general trends of fitted parameters. The effects of energy bias and of wrong slope of the calibration line are studied in more detail.
