Cosmological constraints on Neutrino - Dark Matter interactions
I summarize the results of a recent analysis where the cosmological effects of interactions of neutrinos with cold Dark Matter (DM) is investigated. This interaction produces diffusion-damped oscillations in the matter power spectrum, analogous to the acoustic oscillations in the baryon-photon fluid. I discuss the bounds from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey on the corresponding opacity defined as ...
متن کاملRealistic sterile neutrino dark matter with keV mass does not contradict cosmological bounds.
Previous fits of sterile neutrino dark matter (DM) models to cosmological data ruled out masses smaller than approximately 8 keV, assuming a production mechanism that is not the best motivated from a particle physics point of view. Here we focus on a realistic extension of the standard model with three sterile neutrinos, consistent with neutrino oscillation data and baryogenesis, with the light...
متن کاملCoupling dark energy with Standard Model states
In this contribution one examines the coupling of dark energy to the gauge fields, to neutrinos, and to the Higgs field. In the first case, one shows how a putative evolution of the fundamental couplings of strong and weak interactions via coupling to dark energy through a generalized Bekenstein-type model may cause deviations on the statistical nuclear decay Rutherford-Soddy law. Existing boun...
متن کامل2 v 1 2 9 M ar 1 99 8 On mixing angles and magnetic moment of heavy tau
If the magnetic moment of unstable tau neutrinos with the mass of O(MeV) is in the region of 10 −8 µ B µ ντ 10 −6 µ B , it is compatible with the present experimental and cosmological bounds. It is pointed out here, that if the tau neutrino has such a large magnetic moment and can oscillate into a neutrino of another flavour the results from νe scattering experiment at LAMPF constrain the tau n...
متن کاملIs CP Violation Observable in Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments ?
We have studied the direct measurements of CP violation in the neutrino oscillations: the difference of the transition probabilities between CP -conjugate channels in the long baseline accelerator experiments. In those experiments, the CP violating effect is not suppressed if the highest neutrino mass scale is taken to be 1 ∼ 10eV, which is appropriate for the cosmological hot dark matter. The ...
متن کاملCosmological gamma ray and neutrino backgrounds due to neutralino dark matter annihilation
We compute the cosmological background radiation of gamma rays and neutrinos due to neutralino annihilation in evolving dark matter halos, assuming the observed dark matter is comprised of thermally excited neutralinos in the MSSM. The spectrum of this gamma-ray background radiation does not show strong annihilation line features, but could amount to a significant fraction of the extragalactic ...
