Limits on Neutrino Radiative Decay from Sn1987a

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1 Astrophysics

Abstract

We calculate limits on the properties of neutrinos using data from gamma-ray detectors on the Pioneer Venus Orbiter and Solar Max Mission satellites. A massive neutrino decaying in flight from the supernova would produce gamma rays detectable by these instruments. The lack of such a signal allows us to constrain the mass, radiative lifetime, and branching ratio to photons of a massive neutrino species produced in the supernova. Presented at Beyond The Standard Model III, June, 1992.
