Description

A simple model is constructed which satisfies all the laboratory, astrophysical, and cosmological constraints discussed recently by Caldwell and Langacker for the possible existence of a 17-keV neutrino. It is mainly ντ, with bar νμ as its pseudo-Dirac partner, whereas νe is mainly a light pseudo-Dirac neutrino with an inert partner. The decay lifetime of the 17-keV neutrino is estimated to be 10 s or longer
