abstract

Due to interactions with dark matter, neutrinos can acquire refractive masses which explain the data from oscillation experiments. We study the effects of relic neutrinos with refractive masses on structure formation in the Universe. In the model with a light fermionic mediator, above the resonance energy, $E_R$, associated with the mass of the mediator, refractive masses have all the properties identical to the usual vacuum masses. Below the resonance, refractive masses decrease with neutrino energy, however, they cannot be used in the same way as usual masses. We study the dispersion relations and group velocities of such neutrinos and their dependence on redshift. We show that in the epoch of structure formation, relic neutrinos were ultrarelativistic and essentially massless particles for $E_R = (10 - 10^5)\,$eV. This allows to reconcile the values of masses extracted from oscillation experiments with the stringent bounds on sum of neutrino masses from cosmological surveys.

    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.

    A review of non-standard neutrino properties, summarizing proposals for dark-matter-induced mass, decays, pseudo-Dirac neutrinos, sterile neutrinos, and non-standard interactions.
