Right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) provide a natural portal to a dark sector accommodating dark matter (DM). In this work, we consider that the dark sector is connected to the standard model only via RHNs and ask how DM can be produced from RHNs. Our framework concentrates on a rather simple and generic interaction that couples RHNs to a pair of dark particles. Depending on whether RHNs are light or heavy in comparison to the dark sector and also on whether one or both of them are in the freeze-in/out regime, there are many distinct scenarios resulting in rather different results. We conduct a comprehensive and systematic study of all possible scenarios in this paper. For illustration, we apply our generic results to the type-I seesaw model with the dark sector extension, addressing whether and when DM in this model can be in the freeze-in or freeze-out regime. Some observational consequences in this framework are also discussed.

Dark Photons in the Early Universe: From Thermal Production to Cosmological Constraints
Dark photon thermal production is computed analytically, yielding a fixed 4πe/27 ≈ 0.14 resonance-to-inverse-decay ratio and new cosmological limits down to ε~10^-12 over 0.1–6 MeV.

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.

Bounds and detection of MeV-scale dark matter annihilation to neutrinos
Relic dark matter annihilation into neutrinos after neutrino decoupling adds a nonthermal contribution to the effective number of neutrino species, which can exclude large annihilation cross sections for MeV-scale dar...

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%.

Reviving $Z^\prime$ Portal Dark Matter with Conversion Mechanism
In a U(1)_{B-L} Z' portal model with two nearly degenerate dark fermions, the conversion mechanism can produce the observed dark matter relic density while evading current collider and direct-detection constraints.
