Cosmology of “visible” Sterile Neutrinos∗
We point out that in scenarios with a low reheating temperature TR << 100 MeV at the end of (the last episode of) inflation or entropy production, the abundance of sterile neutrinos becomes largely independent of their coupling to active neutrinos. Thus, cosmological bounds become less stringent than usually assumed, allowing sterile neutrinos to be “visible” in future experiments. For example,...
متن کاملPossible tests for sterile neutrinos ∗
It is shown that the future SNO and Super-Kamiokande experiments, in which high energy 8 B neutrinos will be detected through the observation of CC, NC and ν–e elastic scattering processes, could allow to reveal in a model independent way the presence of sterile neutrinos in the flux of solar neutrinos on the earth.
متن کاملThe Role of Sterile Neutrinos in Cosmology and Astrophysics
We present a comprehensive overview of an extension of the Standard Model by three right-handed (sterile) neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale (the Neutrino Minimal Standard Model, νMSM). We consider the history of the Universe from the inflationary era until today and demonstrate that most of the observed beyond the Standard Model phenomena find their explanation within the framew...
متن کاملProbing oscillations into sterile neutrinos with cosmology, astrophysics and experiments
We perform a thorough analysis of oscillation signals generated by one extra sterile neutrino, extending previous analyses done in simple limiting cases and including the effects of established oscillations among active neutrinos. We consider the following probes: solar, atmospheric, reactor and beam neutrinos, Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis (helium-4, deuterium), Cosmic Microwave Background, Large S...
متن کاملShort-Baseline Active-Sterile Neutrino Oscillations?
We suggest the possibility that the anomalies observed in the LSND experiment and the Gallium radioactive source experiments may be due to neutrino oscillations generated by a large squared-mass difference of about 20 − 30 eV. We consider the simplest 3+1 four-neutrino scheme that can accommodate also the observed solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations. We show that, in this framework, the...
