Title: Galactic dark matter population as the source of neutrino masses

Abstract

In this study, we propose that neutrino masses can be zero in vacuo and may be generated by the local distribution of dark matter through a feeble long range scalar force. We discuss potential phenomenological constraints and implications of this framework. Our model typically implies that the cosmic neutrino background left over from the Big Bang is mostly absent in our Galactic neighborhood. Hence, a positive detection signal from future proposed experiments, such as PTOLEMY, could in principle falsify our scenario.

Visible sterile neutrinos as the earliest relic probes of cosmology

Journal Article Gelmini, Graciela B. ; Lu, Philip ; Takhistov, Volodymyr - Physics Letters B

A laboratory detection of a sterile neutrino could provide the first indication of the evolution of the Universe before Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), an epoch yet untested. Such "visible" sterile neutrinos are observable in upcoming experiments such as KATRIN/TRISTAN and HUNTER in the keV mass range and PTOLEMY and others in the eV mass range. A set of standard assumptions is typically made about cosmology before the temperature of the Universe was 5 MeV. However, non-standard pre-BBN cosmologies based on alternative assumptions could arise in motivated theoretical models and are equally in agreement with all existing data.

Calculation of momentum distribution function of a non-thermal fermionic dark matter

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

The most widely studied scenario in dark matter phenomenology is the thermal WIMP scenario. Inspite of numerous efforts to detect WIMP, till now we have no direct evidence for it. A possible explanation for this non-observation of dark matter could be because of its very feeble interaction strength and hence, failing to thermalise with the rest of the cosmic soup. In other words, the dark matter might be of non-thermal origin where the relic density is obtained by the so-called freeze-in mechanism. Furthermore, if this non-thermal dark matter is itself produced substantially from the decay of another non-thermal mother particle,more »« less

LUKEWARM DARK MATTER: BOSE CONDENSATION OF ULTRALIGHT PARTICLES

Journal Article Lundgren, Andrew P ; Bondarescu, Mihai ; Bondarescu, Ruxandra ; ... - Astrophysical Journal Letters

We discuss the thermal evolution and Bose-Einstein condensation of ultralight dark matter particles at finite, realistic cosmological temperatures. We find that if these particles decouple from regular matter before Standard Model particles annihilate, their temperature will be about 0.9 K. This temperature is substantially lower than the temperature of cosmic microwave background neutrinos and thus big bang nucleosynthesis remains unaffected. In addition, the temperature is consistent with WMAP 7-year+BAO+H0 observations without fine-tuning. We focus on particles of mass of m {approx} 10{sup -23} eV, which have Compton wavelength of galactic scales. Agglomerations of these particles can form stable halos andmore »« less

Boosted dark matter quarrying at surface neutrino detectors

Journal Article Kim, Doojin ; Kong, Kyoungchul ; Park, Jong-Chul ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We propose the idea of “Earth Shielding” to reject cosmic-ray backgrounds, in the search for boosted dark matter at surface neutrino detectors, resulting in the enhancement of the signal-to-background ratio. The identification of cosmic-originating rare signals, especially lacking features, at surface detectors is often considered hopeless due to a vast amount of cosmic-ray-induced background, hence underground experiments are better motivated to avoid such a challenge. We claim that surface detectors can attain remarkable sensitivities to even featureless signals, once restricting to events coming through the Earth from the opposite side of the detector location for the signals leaving appreciable tracksmore »« less

Baryogenesis, dark matter, and flavor structure in non-thermal moduli cosmology

Journal Article Chen, Mu-Chun ; Takhistov, Volodymyr - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

The appearance of scalar/moduli fields in the early universe, as motivated by string theory, naturally leads to non-thermal “moduli cosmology”. Such cosmology provides a consistent framework where the generation of radiation, baryons, and dark matter can occur while maintaining successful Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and avoiding the cosmological moduli problem. We present a relatively economical construction with moduli cosmology, building on a variety of string-inspired components (e.g. supersymmetry, discrete symmetries, Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation). We address a range of outstanding problems of particle physics and cosmology simultaneously, including the fermion mass hierarchy and flavor puzzle, the smallness of neutrino masses, baryogenesis and dark matter. Our setup, based on discretemore »« less
