Title: Big bang nucleosynthesis constraints on sterile neutrino and lepton asymmetry of the Universe

Abstract

We consider the cosmological effects of sterile neutrinos with the masses of 150–450 MeV. The decay of sterile neutrinos changes the thermal history of the Universe and affects the energy density of radiation at the recombination and the big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) results. We derive severe constraints on the parameters of sterile neutrinos from the primordial abundances of helium-4 and deuterium. We also find that in a particular model the constraints can be considerably relaxed by assuming a large lepton asymmetry in the active neutrinos. In this case, the consistent parameters result in N_eff ≃ 3.2–3.4 and can alleviate the Hubble tension.

Constraining the cosmic radiation density due to lepton number with Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

Journal Article Mangano, Gianpiero ; Miele, Gennaro ; Pisanti, Ofelia ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

The cosmic energy density in the form of radiation before and during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) is typically parameterized in terms of the effective number of neutrinos N{sub eff}. This quantity, in case of no extra degrees of freedom, depends upon the chemical potential and the temperature characterizing the three active neutrino distributions, as well as by their possible non-thermal features. In the present analysis we determine the upper bounds that BBN places on N{sub eff} from primordial neutrino-antineutrino asymmetries, with a careful treatment of the dynamics of neutrino oscillations. We consider quite a wide range for the total leptonmore »« less

Studies of neutrino asymmetries generated by ordinary-sterile neutrino oscillations in the early Universe and implications for big bang nucleosynthesis bounds

Journal Article Foot, R ; Volkas, R R - Physical Review, D

Ordinary-sterile neutrino oscillations can generate a significant lepton number asymmetry in the early Universe. We study this phenomenon in detail. We show that the dynamics of ordinary-sterile neutrino oscillations in the early Universe can be approximately described by a single integrodifferential equation which we derive from both the density matrix and Hamiltonian formalisms. This equation reduces to a relatively simple ordinary first-order differential equation if the system is sufficiently smooth (static limit). We study the conditions for which the static limit is an acceptable approximation. We also study the effect of the thermal distribution of neutrino momenta on the generationmore »« less

How neutrino oscillations can induce an effective neutrino number of less than three during big bang nucleosynthesis

Journal Article Foot, R ; Volkas, R R - Physical Review, D

Ordinary-sterile neutrino oscillations can generate significant neutrino asymmetry in the early Universe. In this paper we extend this work by computing the evolution of neutrino asymmetries and light element abundances during the big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) epoch. We show that a significant electron-neutrino asymmetry can be generated in a way that is approximately independent of the oscillation parameters {delta}m{sup 2} and sin{sup 2}2{theta} for a range of parameters in an interesting class of models. The numerical value of the asymmetry leads to the {ital prediction} that the effective number of neutrino flavors during BBN is either about 2.5 or 3.4,more »« less

WMAP five-year constraints on lepton asymmetry and radiation energy density: implications for Planck

Journal Article Popa, L A ; Vasile, A - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

In this paper we set bounds on the radiation content of the Universe and neutrino properties by using the WMAP (Wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe) five-year CMB (cosmic microwave background) measurements complemented with most of the existing CMB and LSS (large scale structure) data (WMAP5+All), imposing also self-consistent BBN (big bang nucleosynthesis) constraints on the primordial helium abundance. We consider lepton asymmetric cosmological models parametrized by the neutrino degeneracy parameter {xi}{sub {nu}} and the variation of the relativistic degrees of freedom, {Delta}N{sub eff}{sup oth}, due to possible other physical processes occurring between BBN and structure formation epochs. We get a meanmore »« less

Reconciling sterile neutrinos with Big Bang nucleosynthesis

Journal Article Foot, R ; Volkas, R R - Physical Review Letters

We reexamine the big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) bounds on the mixing of neutrinos with sterile species. These bounds depend on the assumption that the relic neutrino asymmetry {ital L}{sub {nu}} is very small. We show that for {ital L}{sub {nu}} large enough (greater than about 10{sup {endash}5}) the standard BBN bounds do not apply. We apply this result to the sterile neutrino solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly and show that for {ital L}{sub {nu}}{approx_gt}7{times}10{sup {minus}5} it is consistent with BBN. The BBN bounds on sterile neutrinos mixing with electron neutrinos can also be weakened considerably. {copyright} {ital 1995 Themore » American Physical Society.}« less
