Detection I: Stodolsky effect
Energy split of electron spin states in the v background
requires v chemical potential (Dirac) or net helicity (Majorana)
Requires breaking of isotropy (Earth velocity)
Results depend on D or M, relativistic/non relativistic, clustered/unclustered

Beta decaying nuclei having BR() > 5 selected from 14543 decays listed in the ENSDF database

The 3H example
8 events yr-1 per 100g of 3H (no clustering)
up to 102 events yr-1 per 100 g of 3H due to clustering effect
signal/background = 3 for =0.2 eV if mv=0.7 eV
=0.1 eV if mv=0.3 eV

Variation on the theme:
Beta-beams
Electron-capture nuclei (fighting with energy threshold!)
Best nucleus candidate?
Already there ? (Troisk anomaly) Unlikely large flux!!
