A supernova constraint on bulk majorons
In models with large extra dimensions all gauge singlet fields can in
principle propagate in the extra dimensional space. We have investigated
possible constraints on majoron models of neutrino masses in which the majorons
propagate in extra dimensions. It is found that astrophysical constraints from
supernovae are many orders of magnitude stronger than previous accelerator
bounds. Our findings suggest that unnatural types of the "see-saw" mechanism
for neutrino masses are unlikely to occur in nature, even in the presence of
extra dimensions.Comment: Minor changes, matches the version to appear in PR
