We consider a scenario where keV sterile neutrinos constitute all of the currently inferred dark matter abundance, whose radiative decays could potentially account for the flux contributions to the X-ray background (XRB) by unresolved sources. Here we apply integrated flux methods to results from the observations of the North/South Chandra deep fields (CDF-N/S) in order to deduce constraints on the sterile neutrino mass-mixing parameters.
