Abstract

If ν_τ and τ_μ are substantially more massive than ν_e but decay into the lightest, the cosmological upper limit on m_νe becomes less than its preliminary determinations in the laboratory. If the laboratory measurements are confirmed, such decays must have negligible rates and the sum of the neutrino masses should conform to the canonical cosmological bounds.
