Abstract

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 ``seesaw'' mechanism for neutrino masses are unlikely to occur in nature, even in the presence of extra dimensions.
