Dark Matter: the Case of Sterile Neutrino∗
An extension of the Standard Model by three right-handed neutrinos with masses smaller than the electroweak scale (the νMSM) can explain simultaneously dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the Universe, being consistent with the data on neutrino oscillations. A dark matter candidate in this theory is the sterile neutrino with the mass in keV range. We discuss the constraints on the properties of...
متن کاملEvidence for “ sterile neutrino ” dark matter ?
I show that it may be possible to explain the present evidence for a gamma-ray emission from the galactic halo as due to halo WIMP annihilations. Not only the intensity and spatial pattern of the halo emission can be matched but also the relic density of the candidate WIMP can be in the cosmologically interesting domain. After a model-independent analysis to learn about the properties of a suit...
متن کاملConstraining dark matter through 21 cm observations
Beyond reionization epoch cosmic hydrogen is neutral and can be directly observed through its 21 cm line signal. If dark matter (DM) decays or annihilates the corresponding energy input affects the hydrogen kinetic temperature and ionized fraction, and contributes to the Lyα background. The changes induced by these processes on the 21 cm signal can then be used to constrain the proposed DM cand...
متن کاملLeptongenesis in models with keV sterile neutrino dark matter
The modern cosmology provides at least two experimental evidences for the existence of new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). One of them is the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU). The other one is the Dark Matter (DM) which constitutes most of the gravitating mass in the Universe. To be consistent with the observations, the DM candidate should be a very weakly interacting particle. Fo...
متن کاملConstraining the window on sterile neutrinos as warm dark matter
Sterile neutrinos may be one of the best Warm Dark Matter candidates we have today. Both lower and upper bounds on the mass of the sterile neutrino come from astronomical observations. We show that the proper inclusion of the neutrino momentum distribution reduces the allowed region to be 2.6 keV < m < 5 keV for the simplest models. A search for a spectral line with E = m/2 is thus more interes...
