Boosted neutrinos and relativistic dark particles as messengers from reheating

نویسندگان

چکیده

Usually information from early eras such as reheating is hard to come by. In this paper we argue that, given the right circumstances, right-handed sterile neutrinos decaying left-handed active ones at relatively late times can carry by propagating freely over thermal history. For not too small mixing angles, suitable neutrino masses are around MeV–GeV. We identify typical spectra and that they provide on ratio of inflaton mass temperature. This primordial signal be strong enough it detected in IceCube. More speculatively, for a temperature satisfying TR=(1–100) MeV, m?=(1016-19) GeV may even explain observed PeV events. Also more general relativistic dark particles play role messengers, potentially only allowing events but also alleviating H0-tension.

Neutrinos as cosmic messengers

I briefly review the current status of neutrino oscillation parameters and discuss the role of neutrinos as cosmological probes, that could possibly induce the baryon asymmetry as well as the dark matter in the Universe. I comment on the origin of neutrino masses in seesaw-type and low-scale models and mention some of their laboratory signals. STATUS OF NEUTRINO OSCILLATIONS The discovery of ne...

Neutrinos as the messengers of CPT violation

CPT violation has the potential to explain all three existing neutrino anomalies without enlarging the neutrino sector. CPT violation in the Dirac mass terms of the three neutrino flavors preserves Lorentz invariance, but generates independent masses for neutrinos and antineutrinos. This specific signature is strongly motivated by braneworld scenarios with extra dimensions, where neutrinos are ...

Neutrinos—Inner Properties and Role as Astrophysical Messengers

The observed flavor oscillations of solar and atmospheric neutrinos determine several elements of the leptonic mixing matrix, but leave open the small mixing angle Θ13, a possible CP-violating phase, the mass ordering, the absolute mass scale mν , and the Dirac vs. Majorana property. Many attempts are in progress to determine these missing elements, notably in the area of long-baseline, tritium...

Neutrinos as cluster dark matter

The dynamical mass of clusters of galaxies, calculated in terms of modified Newtonian dynamics, is a factor of two or three times smaller than the Newtonian dynamical mass but remains significantly larger than the observed baryonic mass in the form of hot gas and stars in galaxies. Here I consider further the suggestion that the undetected matter might be in the form of cosmological neutrinos w...

Sterile neutrinos as dark matter.

The simplest model that can accomodate a viable nonbaryonic dark matter candidate is the standard electroweak theory with the addition of right-handed or sterile neutrinos. This model has been studied extensively in the context of the hot dark matter scenario. We reexamine this model and find that hot, warm, and cold dark matter are all possibilities. We focus on the case where sterile neutrino...
