Abstract
We consider the possibility of detecting in a hypothetical 1 km^3 neutrino telescope high energy neutrinos resulting from the annihilation of very heavy neutrinos of fourth generation in the galactic halo. It is shown that such a large telescope could in principle detect this negligible component which, if it does exist, gives a contribution of order 10^-2 to the dark matter of the universe.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
