Abstract

We identify the range of parameters for which the sterile neutrinos can simultaneously explain the cosmological dark matter and the observed velocities of pulsars. To satisfy all cosmological bounds, the relic sterile neutrinos must be produced sufficiently cold. This is possible in a class of models with a gauge-singlet Higgs boson coupled to the neutrinos. Sterile dark matter can be detected by the x-ray telescopes. The presence of the singlet in the Higgs sector can be tested at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

Dark-matter sterile neutrinos in models with a gauge singlet in the Higgs sector

Journal Article Petraki, Kalliopi ; Kusenko, Alexander - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Sterile neutrino with mass of several keV can be the cosmological dark matter, can explain the observed velocities of pulsars, and can play an important role in the formation of the first stars. We describe the production of sterile neutrinos in a model with an extended Higgs sector, in which the Majorana mass term is generated by the vacuum expectation value of a gauge-singlet Higgs boson. In this model the relic abundance of sterile neutrinos does not necessarily depend on their mixing angles, the free-streaming length can be much smaller than in the case of warm dark matter produced bymore »« less

Hidden treasures: Sterile neutrinos as dark matter with miraculous abundance, structure formation for different production mechanisms, and a solution to the $σ_{8}$ problem

Journal Article Abazajian, Kevork N. ; Kusenko, Alexander - Physical Review D

We discuss numerous mechanisms for production of sterile neutrinos, which can account for all or a fraction of dark matter and which can range from warm to effectively cold dark matter, depending on the cosmological scenario. We investigate production by Higgs boson decay, ( B - L ) gauge boson production at high temperature, as well as production via resonant and nonresonant neutrino oscillations. We calculate the effects on structure formation in these models, some for the first time. If two populations of sterile neutrinos, one warm and one cold, were produced by different mechanisms or if sterile neutrinos accountmore »« less

Inflation, proton decay, and Higgs-portal dark matter in $$$$SO(10) \times U(1)_\psi $$$$

Journal Article Okada, Nobuchika ; Raut, Digesh ; Shafi, Qaisar - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

We propose a simple non-supersymmetric grand unified theory (GUT) based on the gauge group SO(10)×U(1) _ψ. The model includes 3 generations of fermions in 16 (+1), 10 (–2) and 1 (+4) representations. The 16-plets contain Standard Model (SM) fermions plus right-handed neutrinos, and the 10-plet and the singlet fermions are introduced to make the model anomaly-free. Gauge coupling unification at M _GUT≃5×10 ¹⁵ - 10 ¹⁶ GeV is achieved by including an intermediate Pati–Salam breaking at M _I ≃ 10 ¹² – 10 ¹¹ GeV, which is a natural scale for the seesaw mechanism. For M _I ≃ 10 ¹²more »« less

Gamma-ray constraints on dark-matter annihilation to electroweak gauge and Higgs bosons

Journal Article Fedderke, Michael A. ; Kolb, Edward W. ; Lin, Tongyan ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Dark-matter annihilation into electroweak gauge and Higgs bosons results in γ-ray emission. We use observational upper limits on the fluxes of both line and continuum γ-rays from the Milky Way Galactic Center and from Milky Way dwarf companion galaxies to set exclusion limits on allowed dark-matter masses. (Generally, Galactic Center γ-ray line search limits from the Fermi-LAT and the H.E.S.S. experiments are most restrictive.) Our limits apply under the following assumptions: a) the dark matter species is a cold thermal relic with present mass density equal to the measured dark-matter density of the universe; b) dark-matter annihilation to standard-model particlesmore »« less

Freeze-in production of sterile neutrino dark matter in U(1){sub B−L} model

Journal Article Biswas, Anirban ; Gupta, Aritra - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

With the advent of new and more sensitive direct detection experiments, scope for a thermal WIMP explanation of dark matter (DM) has become extremely constricted. The non-observation of thermal WIMP in these experiments has put a strong upper bound on WIMP-nucleon scattering cross section and within a few years it is likely to overlap with the coherent neutrino-nucleon cross section. Hence in all probability, DM may have some non-thermal origin. In this work we explore in detail this possibility of a non-thermal sterile neutrino DM within the framework of U(1){sub B−L} model. The U(1){sub B−L} model on the other handmore »« less
