The Role of Sterile Neutrinos in Cosmology and Astrophysics
We present a comprehensive overview of an extension of the Standard Model by three right-handed (sterile) neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale (the Neutrino Minimal Standard Model, νMSM). We consider the history of the Universe from the inflationary era until today and demonstrate that most of the observed beyond the Standard Model phenomena find their explanation within the framew...
متن کاملProbing oscillations into sterile neutrinos with cosmology, astrophysics and experiments
We perform a thorough analysis of oscillation signals generated by one extra sterile neutrino, extending previous analyses done in simple limiting cases and including the effects of established oscillations among active neutrinos. We consider the following probes: solar, atmospheric, reactor and beam neutrinos, Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis (helium-4, deuterium), Cosmic Microwave Background, Large S...
متن کاملNuclear astrophysics and neutrinos
In this report, centered on the activities within the MURST-PRIN project “Fisica teorica del nucleo e dei sistemi a più corpi” we discuss recent advances on the following items: i)neutrinos as probes of the solar interior and of other astrophysical objects; ii)neutrinos as probes of physics beyond the Standard Model of electroweak interactions; iii)the role of nuclear physics in i) and ii); iv)...
متن کاملNeutrinos in physics and astrophysics
An elementary general overview of the neutrino physics and astrophysics is given. We start by a historical account of the development of our understanding of neutrinos and how they helped to unravel the structure of the Standard Model. We discuss why it is so important to establish if neutrinos are massive and we introduce the main scenarios to provide them a mass. The present bounds and the po...
متن کاملNeutrinos in Physics and Astrophysics
The observed flavor oscillations of solar and atmospheric neutrinos determine several elements of the leptonic mixing matrix, but leave open the small mixing angle Θ13, a possible CP-violating phase, the mass ordering, the absolute mass scale mν , and the Dirac vs. Majorana property. Progress will be made by long-baseline, tritium endpoint, and 2β decay experiments. The best constraint on mν ob...
