Abstract
We consider the possibility of detecting in a hypothetical 1 km(3) neu trino telescope high energy neutrinos resulting from the annihilation of very heavy neutrinos of fourth generation in the galactic halo. It is shown that such a large telescope could in principle detect this ne gligible component which, if it does exist, gives a contribution of or der 10(-2) to the dark matter of the universe.
