Abstract
An understanding of the molecular final state distribution is crucial to extracting a neutrino mass from molecular tritium-based experiments including the upcoming Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino Mass Experiment. This dissertation studies molecular systematics for the upcoming neutrino mass measurements and discusses the measurement of molecular dissociation as a test of final state distribution calculations. Advisors/Committee Members: Robertson, R. G. Hamish (advisor).
