abstract
We investigate a minimal neutrino portal dark matter (DM) model where a right-handed neutrino both generates the observed neutrino masses and mediates between the SM and the dark sector, which consists of a fermion and a boson. In contrast to earlier work, we explore regions of the parameter space where DM is produced via freeze-in instead of freeze-out motivated by the small neutrino Yukawa couplings in case of $\mathcal{O} \left( \mathrm{TeV} \right)$ heavy neutrinos. \\ For a non-resonant production of DM, its energy density is independent of the DM mass. Assuming a democratic coupling structure we find $M_N \approx 10 \, \mathrm{TeV}$. For the resonant production of DM, we find that it can be produced via freeze-in or freeze-out even with couplings of $\mathcal{O} \left( 10^{-5} \right)$. However, the measurement of the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest rules out the feeble coupled freeze-out case completely, while the resonant freeze-in production is only viable for $m_{DM} \gtrsim 3 \, \mathring{keV}$.

Coscattering Dark Matter in the Inverse Scotogenic Models
In the inverse scotogenic model, nearly degenerate Z2-odd scalars φ1 and φ2 produce the observed dark matter relic density via coscattering through either the Higgs portal or Yukawa portal, with long-lived φ2 decays g...

Cosmological Histories in Neutrino Portal Dark Matter
A neutrino portal dark sector with mN < mχ < mϕ can be populated by freeze-out, freeze-in, double freeze-in, or by forming a separate cold dark thermal bath, depending on the two portal couplings.

Electroweak right-handed neutrino portal dark matter
In neutrino-portal dark matter, ignoring internal dark-sector interactions during freeze-in can underestimate the final relic abundance by 30–95%.

Effect of Cosmic Neutrino Background on the Dark Matter Self-interaction via Neutrino force
The cosmic neutrino background screens the neutrino-pair force between scalar dark matter particles for m_chi below the CnuB temperature, reshaping SIDM parameter space and eliminating Sommerfeld enhancement.
