Neutrino Oscillations and Dark Matter
نویسنده
چکیده
The significance of light massive neutrinos as hot dark matter is outlined. The power of neutrino oscillation experiments with respect to detect such neutrinos in the eV-region is discussed. Present hints for neutrino oscillations in solar, atmospheric and LSND data are reviewed as well as future experiments and their potential.

Phenomenological and Cosmological Implications of Neutrino Oscillations
I discuss the implications of neutrino oscillations for neutrino mass patterns and mass matrices, and for neutrinoless double beta decay. I then go on to discuss the implications for cosmological relic density and dark matter, the galaxy structure limits on neutrino mass, nucleosynthesis, supernovae, cosmic rays and gamma ray bursts.
متن کاملCosmological constraints on Neutrino - Dark Matter interactions
I summarize the results of a recent analysis where the cosmological effects of interactions of neutrinos with cold Dark Matter (DM) is investigated. This interaction produces diffusion-damped oscillations in the matter power spectrum, analogous to the acoustic oscillations in the baryon-photon fluid. I discuss the bounds from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey on the corresponding opacity defined as ...
متن کاملDark Matter: the Case of Sterile Neutrino∗
An extension of the Standard Model by three right-handed neutrinos with masses smaller than the electroweak scale (the νMSM) can explain simultaneously dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the Universe, being consistent with the data on neutrino oscillations. A dark matter candidate in this theory is the sterile neutrino with the mass in keV range. We discuss the constraints on the properties of...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass Spectrum with ν μ → ν s Oscillations of Atmospheric Neutrinos
We consider the " standard " spectrum of the active neutrinos (characterized by strong mass hierarchy and small mixing) with additional sterile neutrino, ν s , which mixes strongly with muon neutrino, so that ν µ ↔ ν s oscillations solve the atmospheric neutrino problem. The parametric enhancement of the ν µ ↔ ν s oscillations occurs for the high energy atmospheric neutrinos which cross the cor...
متن کاملMajorana Dark Matter
In this letter in the framework of a simple see-saw scenario with two (or three) quasi degenerate Majorana neutrinos we propose that one of these neutrinos can be very weakly coupled, yet there is a mechanism of the generation of the abundance of such ”dark” neutrino in the early universe. The mechanism of production is due to oscillations between ”dark” Majorana neutrino and one of the Majoran...
