Limits on Neutrino Radiative Decay from Sn1987a
We calculate limits on the properties of neutrinos using data from gammaray 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 s...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass Constraints on Decay and 0 !
0031-9007= In this Letter, we show that upper limits on the neutrino mass translate into upper limits on the class of neutrino-matter interactions that can generate loop corrections to the neutrino mass matrix. We apply our results to and decays and derive model-independent limits on six of the ten parameters used to parametrize contributions to decay that do not belong to the standard model. T...
متن کاملConstraints on radiative decay of the 17-keV neutrino from COBE measurements.
It is shown that, for a non-trivial radiative decay channel of the 17-keV neutrino, the photons would distort the microwave background radiation through ionization of the universe. The constraint on the branching ratio of such decays from COBE measurements is found to be more stringent than that from SN 1987A. The limit on the branching ratio in terms of the Compton y parameter is Bγ ≤ 1.5× 10 ...
متن کاملRadiative neutrino decay in hot media
We calculate the rate for the radiative neutrino decay in a thermal background of electrons and photons, taking into account the effect of the stimulated emission of photons in the thermal bath. We show that the rate is enhanced by a large factor relative to the rate for the corresponding process in the vacuum. The notion that the presence of an ambient medium modifies the properties of element...
متن کاملPlasma Induced Neutrino Radiative Decay Instead of Neutrino Spin Light
The conversion νL → νRγ∗ of a neutrino with a magnetic moment is considered, caused by the additional Wolfenstein energy acquired by a left-handed neutrino in medium, with an accurate taking account of the photon γ∗ dispersion in medium. It is shown that the threshold arises in the process, caused by the photon (plasmon) effective mass. This threshold leaves no room for the so-called “neutrino ...
