abstract

The large distances travelled by neutrinos emitted from the Sun and core-collapse supernovae together with the characteristic energy of such neutrinos provide ideal conditions to probe their lifetime, when the decay products evade detection. We investigate the prospects of probing invisible neutrino decay capitalising on the detection of solar and supernova neutrinos as well as the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB) in the next-generation neutrino observatories Hyper-Kamiokande, DUNE, JUNO, DARWIN, and RES-NOVA. We find that future solar neutrino data will be sensitive to values of the lifetime-to-mass ratio $\tau_1/m_1$ and $\tau_2/m_2$ of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-1} - 10^{-2})$ s/eV. From a core-collapse supernova explosion at $10$ kpc, lifetime-to-mass ratios of the three mass eigenstates of $\mathcal{O}(10^5)$ s/eV could be tested. After $20$ years of data taking, the DSNB would extend the sensitivity reach of $\tau_1/m_1$ to $10^{8}$ s/eV. These results promise an improvement of about $6 -15$ orders of magnitude on the values of the decay parameters with respect to existing limits.

  1. Invisible decay of solar neutrinos at dark matter experiments

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Combining XENONnT, PandaX-4T, and LZ data gives the first CEνNS-based limit on invisible solar-neutrino decay, and a future xenon detector could beat dedicated solar experiments by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude.

  2. Dark matter scattering with pre-supernova neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Attenuation of pre-supernova electron antineutrinos by local dark matter yields upper limits on the reduced DM–ν cross section of order 10^{-21} cm^{2}/GeV at detectors such as JUNO, Super-K and KamLAND.

  3. Exploring New Propagation Scales With Galactic Neutrinos

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A projected joint IceCube+KM3NeT Galactic-neutrino analysis could constrain quasi-Dirac mass splittings near 10^-14-10^-12 eV^2 and nu3-to-nu1 decay rates above 5e-13 eV^2 at 90% CL.

  4. Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background and Neutrino Non-Radiative Decay: a Bayesian Perspective

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Bayesian forecast of upcoming DSNB detectors shows neutrino decay can be distinguished from stability for quasi-degenerate or inverted mass patterns, but not for strong normal hierarchy.

  5. Study of large extra dimension and neutrino decay at P2SO experiment

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A simulation study projects P2SO and combined DUNE/T2HK/P2SO bounds on large extra dimensions, and P2SO's 3-sigma limit on invisible neutrino decay tau3/m3 of 2.11e-11 s/eV.

  6. Probing Weak-Force Corrections to Black Hole Geometry via Long Range Potentials: Feinberg-Sucher and Ferrer-Nowakowski Potentials

    gr-qc 2025-05 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A heuristic model claims neutrino- and boson-mediated forces would shift black hole photon spheres and shadows, with attractive forces enlarging and repulsive forces shrinking them.
