Scientific paper

A simple form for the neutrino mass matrix describing νe, νμ, ντ, and a sterile state νs is proposed which accommodates the 17-keV neutrino as a νμ-ντ pseudo Dirac pair and simultaneously resolves the solar-neutrino puzzle via νe-νs Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) oscillation. This model, which is a specific realization of a scheme proposed recently by Caldwell and Langacker, is automatically free of all supernova constraints. It is shown that the mass matrix follows in a technically natural manner in extensions of the standard model with spontaneously broken global U(1)Le-Lμ×U(1)Lτ symmetry. The 17-keV neutrino decays to νe and a Majoron with a lifetime of order 10-1-10-2 sec thus satisfying all cosmological and astrophysical constraints.
