abstract
The annihilation of new dark matter candidates with masses $m_X$ in the MeV range may account for the galactic positrons that are required to explain the 511 keV $\gamma$-ray flux from the galactic bulge. We study the impact of MeV-mass thermal relic particles on the primordial synthesis of $^2$H, $^4$He, and $^7$Li. If the new particles are in thermal equilibrium with neutrinos during the nucleosynthesis epoch they increase the helium mass fraction for $m_X\alt 10$ MeV and are thus disfavored. If they couple primarily to the electromagnetic plasma they can have the opposite effect of lowering both helium and deuterium. For $m_X=4$--10 MeV they can even improve the overall agreement between the predicted and observed $^2$H and $^4$He abundances.

Sensitivity of Next-Generation CMB Surveys to Neutrinos and Other Light Relics
CMB-S4 forecasts: the two-site design reaches sigma(Neff)=0.029 in seven years, the Chile-only revised design reaches 0.030 in nine, and a cosmic-variance-limited survey would reach 0.0073.

Monophotons at Neutrino Experiments from Neutrino Polarizability
NOMAD and MiniBooNE data currently constrain the neutrino-polarizability coupling product most strongly, while SBND and DUNE are projected to improve these bounds by up to three orders of magnitude.

Probing Dark Sector Particles Coupling to Neutrinos with Double Beta Decay
Double beta decay experiments can constrain couplings of sub-MeV Majoron-like scalars to neutrinos at |a_ν| ≈ 2×10^{-6} through on- and off-shell production effects on the electron spectrum.
