Description

The search for neutrino decay is a sensitive method to look for very small neutrino mixing parameter. The status of a decay experiment performed at a reactor in Bugey is reported, and preliminary new experimental limits are presented on the coupling of a heavy neutrino to the electron state. Additionally, new experimental lifetime bounds on the radiative decay mode are given. Rigid laboratory limits on this decay mode for the hypothetical 17 keV neutrino are presented.
