Description

We reexamine the constraints implied by SN 1987A observations on the decay rate of a multi-MeV ντ decaying into the visible channel ντ→e+e-νe, if its lifetime is more than 10 sec. We discuss its implication for the minimal left-right symmetric model with the seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses
