Sterile neutrinos as dark matter

Mikhail Chapochnikov

I describe the sterile neutrino dark matter candidate and discuss how it may fit into the overall picture of physics beyond the Standard Model. ...

A White Paper on keV sterile neutrino Dark Matter

Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Julien Lesgourgues, Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Igor Tkachev, Marco Drewes, Laurent Gastaldo

We present a comprehensive review of keV-scale sterile neutrino Dark Matter, collecting views and insights from all disciplines involved - cosmology, astrophysics, nuclear, and particle physics - in each case viewed from both theoretical and experimental/o ...

Constraint on neutrino masses from SDSS-III/BOSS Ly alpha forest and other cosmological probes

Julien Lesgourgues

We present constraints on the parameters of the ACDM cosmological model in the presence of massive neutrinos, using the one-dimensional Ly alpha forest power spectrum obtained with the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky ...

Can active-sterile neutrino oscillations lead to chaotic behavior of the cosmological lepton asymmetry?

While the cosmic baryon asymmetry has been measured at high accuracy to be 6.1 x 10(-10), a corresponding lepton asymmetry could be as large as 10(-2) if it hides in the neutrino sector. It has been known for some time that such an asymmetry could be gener ...

Dark matter, baryogenesis and neutrino oscillations from right-handed neutrinos

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Marco Drewes, Laurent Canetti

We show that, leaving aside accelerated cosmic expansion, all experimental data in high energy physics that are commonly agreed to require physics beyond the Standard Model can be explained when completing the model by three right-handed neutrinos that can ...

Sterile Neutrinos as the Origin of Dark and Baryonic Matter

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Marco Drewes, Laurent Canetti

We demonstrate for the first time that three sterile neutrinos alone can simultaneously explain neutrino oscillations, the observed dark matter, and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe without new physics above the Fermi scale. The key new point of our an ...

Next decade of sterile neutrino studies

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

We review the status of sterile neutrino dark matter and discuss astrophysical and cosmological bounds on its properties as well as future prospects for its experimental searches. We argue that if sterile neutrinos are the dominant fraction of dark matter, ...

Search for GeV-Scale Sterile Neutrinos Responsible for Active Neutrino Oscillations and Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe

Mikhail Chapochnikov

Standard Model fails to explain neutrino oscillations, dark matter, and baryon asymmetry of the Universe. All these problems can be solved with three sterile neutrinos added to SM. Quite remarkably, if sterile neutrino masses are well below the electroweak ...

Baryon asymmetry of the Universe without Boltzmann or Kadanoff-Baym equations

Mikhail Chapochnikov

We present a formalism that allows the computation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, from the first principles of statistical physics and quantum field theory, that is applicable to certain types of physics beyond the standard model (such as the neu ...

Cosmological constraints on a light nonthermal sterile neutrino

Julien Lesgourgues

Although the MiniBooNE experiment has severely restricted the possible existence of light sterile neutrinos, a few anomalies persist in oscillation data, and the possibility of extra light species contributing as a subdominant hot (or warm) component is st ...

The role of sterile neutrinos in cosmology and astrophysics

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

We present a comprehensive overview of an extension of the Standard Model that contains three right-handed (sterile) neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale [the Neutrino Minimal Standard Model (vMSM)]. We consider the history of the Universe fro ...

A possible symmetry of the nuMSM

Mikhail Chapochnikov

To explain the dark matter and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, the parameters of the ν MSM (an extension of the Minimal Standard Model by three singlet neutrinos with masses smaller than the electroweak scale) must be fine-tuned: one of the masses sh ...

Constraints on sterile neutrino as a dark matter candidate from the diffuse X-ray background

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

Sterile neutrinos with masses in the kilo-electronvolt range are viable candidates for the warm dark matter. We analyse existing data for the extragalactic diffuse X-ray background for signatures of sterile neutrino decay. The absence of a detectable signa ...

How to find a dark matter sterile neutrino?

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Igor Tkachev

We propose a strategy for how to look for dark matter particles possessing a radiative decay channel and derive constraints on their parameters from observations of x rays from our own Galaxy and its dwarf satellites. When applied to sterile neutrinos in t ...
