Description

Constraints on Dirac-neutrino decay into invisible particles are surveyed. Neutrino lifetimes short enough to explain the solar-neutrino problem are allowed by present terrestrial and cosmological measurements. A model in which Dirac neutrinos can have such short lifetimes is proposed. The recently resurrected 17-keV neutrino is incorporated into this model
