keV-scale gauge-singlet fermions, allowed to mix with the active neutrinos, are elegant dark matter (DM) candidates. They are produced in the early universe via the Dodelson-Widrow mechanism and can be detected as they decay very slowly, emitting X-rays. In the absence of new physics, this hypothesis is virtually ruled out by astrophysical observations. Here, we show that new interactions among the active neutrinos allow these sterile neutrinos to make up all the DM while safely evading all current experimental bounds. The existence of these new neutrino interactions may manifest itself in next-generation experiments, including DUNE.

Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter as a Probe of Inflationary Reheating
Inflaton decays during reheating can produce all of the observed sterile-neutrino dark matter with a branching ratio below 10^-4, evading X-ray bounds and making a future X-ray line a probe of the inflaton mass and re...

Constraining self-interacting ultrahigh-energy muon neutrinos by cosmic microwave background spectral distortion
Scalar-mediated scattering of PeV muon neutrinos on the cosmic neutrino background injects photon energy that distorts the CMB, giving coupling bounds g_nu_mu of about 10^-4 to 10^-5 with projected PIXIE sensitivities...
