dc.description.abstractIf heavy neutrinos with mass m(vH) >= 2m(e) are produced in the Sun via the decay B-8 -> Be-8 + e(+) + v(H) in a side branch of the pp chain, they would undergo the observable decay into an electron, a positron and a light neutrino v(H) -> v(L) + e(+) + e(-). In the present work Borexino data are used to set a bound on the existence of such decays. We constrain the mixing of a heavy neutrino with mass 1: 5 MeV <= m(vH) <= 14 MeV to be vertical bar U-eH vertical bar(2) <= (10(-3) - 4 x 10(-6) ), respectively. These are tighter limits on the mixing parameters than obtained in previous experiments at nuclear reactors and accelerators.en_US
