abstract

Light sterile neutrinos with a mass of $\sim 1$ eV continue to be interesting due to multiple hints from terrestrial experiments. This simple hypothesis suffers from strong astrophysical constraints, in particular from the early universe as well as solar neutrinos. We develop a cosmologically viable proposal consistent with the terrestrial hints, as well as solar constraints, by sourcing the sterile neutrino's mass from ordinary matter via an ultralight scalar $\phi$ which can also be the dark matter. In this scenario, the experimentally implied $\sim 1$ eV sterile neutrino mass is a local value and changes throughout spacetime.

    DUNE can use a nearby supernova neutronization burst to constrain ultralight Le−Lμ gauge forces via distortions of the electron-neutrino survival probability.

  3. Dynamic Neutrino Mass Ordering and Its Imprint on the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A toy model where neutrino mass ordering flips with redshift reshapes the electron-neutrino part of the diffuse supernova neutrino background in an energy-dependent way, but the effect is below near-future experimental reach.
