Abstract
Using the idea about neutrino condensation in the gravitational field of collapsing matter, we consider the annihilation of heavy relic neut rinos in the galaxy, which results in the generation of cosmic rays. C omparison of the predicted cosmic ray flux with the experimental data rules out a possibility of existence of heavy neutrinos in the mass ra nge from 60 to 115 GeV.
