Experimental signatures of non-standard pre-BBN cosmologies

Abstract
If detected, dark matter particles such as WIMPs and sterile neutrinos will be the earliest relics we can study, the first coming from before Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, an epoch from which we have no data so far. Here we discuss how different pre-BBN cosmological models affect the properties of these particles, and how these properties could thus allow to determine the evolution of the Universe before BBN.
