Description
Using the idea about neutrino condensation in the gravitational field of collapsing matter, the authors consider the annihilation of heavy relic neutrinos in the galaxy, which results in the generation of cosmic rays. Comparison of the predicted cosmic ray flux with the experimental data rules out a possibility of existence of heavy neutrinos in the mass range from 60 to 115 GeV. 10 refs., 4 figs
