Note on Thermalization of Non-resonantly Produced Sterile Neutrinos
arXiv:2006.09553 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2020/10/A01
Abstract
Using an analytic treatment, we discuss the parameter regions of large active-sterile neutrino mixing angles where sterile neutrinos produced in non-resonant flavour oscillations can approach thermalization in several cosmologies. We show that thermalization affects only large active-sterile neutrino mixing already rejected by different limits. Hence, the allowed sterile neutrino parameter regions are unaffected.
