Comment on "A New Dark Matter Candidate: Non-thermal Sterile Neutrinos"

Abstract

I point out that the sterile neutrinos suggested as candidates of "cool" Dark Matter will decay through their mixing with light neutrinos. This leads to an upper bound of about 200 keV on the mass of the sterile neutrinos, but might facilitate their detection.
