Heavy sterile neutrinos - what they can be and what they can ’ t
نویسنده
چکیده
We review current astrophysical bounds on MeV sterile neutrinos, and then we discuss why a sterile keV neutrino is a natural warm dark matter candidate.

What are sterile neutrinos good for?
Taken at face value, current experimental data indicate the existence of a new particle, the sterile neutrino, which must be a singlet under the Standard Model gauge group. Although they are not detectable through traditional means, such particles have interesting observable consequences for particle astrophysics and cosmology. Here we examine these implications and discuss, in particular, the ...
متن کاملSterile neutrino states
Neutrino masses are likely to be a manifestation of the right-handed, or sterile neutrinos. The number of sterile neutrinos and the scales of their Majorana masses are unknown. We explore theoretical arguments in favor of the high and low scale seesaw mechanisms, review the existing experimental results, and discuss the astrophysical hints regarding sterile neutrinos. 1. Sterile neutrinos in pa...
متن کاملNeutrinos in cosmology, with some significant digressions
Neutrinos play prominent roles in both particle physics and cosmology. In this talk, I will cover two broad topics. The first will be possible origins for neutrino masses and mixings and the implications of this physics for cosmology. Some non-cosmological digressions on the flavour problem in general will be made. The second topic will be Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and bounds on active-ste...
متن کاملSTABILIZER TOPOLOGY OF HOOPS
In this paper, we introduce the concepts of right, left and product stabilizers on hoops and study some properties and the relation between them. And we try to find that how they can be equal and investigate that under what condition they can be filter, implicative filter, fantastic and positive implicative filter. Also, we prove that right and product stabilizers are filters and if they are ...
متن کاملSearch for Next Generations of Quarks and Leptons at the Tevatron and LHC
If next heavy generations of quarks and leptons (with heavy neutrinos) within the Standard Model exist, they can be observed in experiments with Higgs boson production at the Tevatron and LHC before the discovery of these heavy fermions. For the case of one additional generation, the cross section of the Higgs boson production via gluon fusion at hadron colliders increases by a factor 6 ÷ 9. So...
