We calculate constraints on radiatively decaying neutrinos from the re
cent detection of singly ionized helium in the diffuse intergalactic m
edium (IGM) at z similar or equal to 3.3. We consider a model in which
neutrinos predominantly decay into invisible relativistic particles w
ith a rate tau(-1), and with a small branching ratio into the radiativ
e mode. To satisfy the observation, which puts a lower bound on the nu
mber density of singly ionized helium atoms in the IGM, we show that,
for tau greater than or equal to 10(18) sec (1 eV/m(nu)(2)), transitio
n moment of neutrinos, mu(12), is constrained to be less than or equal
to 4-8 x 10(-17) mu(B) for 110 eV less than or equal to m(nu)less tha
n or equal to 10 keV. Implications of this bound for particle physics
and cosmology are briefly discussed.
