  We consider quasinormal modes of the massive Dirac field in the background of
a Schwarzschild- Tangherlini black hole. Different dimensions of the spacetime
are considered, from d = 4 to d = 9. The quasinormal modes are calculated using
two independent methods: WKB and continued fraction. We obtain the spectrum of
quasinormal modes for different values of the overtone number and angular
quantum number. An analytical approximation of the spectrum valid in the case
of large values of the angular quantum number and mass is calculated. Although
we don't find unstable modes in the spectrum, we show that for large values of
the mass, the quasinormal modes can become very slowly damped, giving rise to
quasistationary perturbations.
