Big Bang Nucleosynthesis with Independent Neutrino Distribution Functions
Christel J. Smith, George M. Fuller, Michael S. Smith
We have performed new Big Bang Nucleosynthesis calculations which employ arbitrarily-specified, time-dependent neutrino and antineutrino distribution functions for each of up to fo…
Light Element Signatures of Sterile Neutrinos and Cosmological Lepton Numbers
Christel J. Smith, George M. Fuller, Chad T. Kishimoto +1
We study primordial nucleosynthesis abundance yields for assumed ranges of cosmological lepton numbers, sterile neutrino mass-squared differences and active-sterile vacuum mixing a…
Coherent Active-Sterile Neutrino Flavor Transformation in the Early Universe
Chad T. Kishimoto, George M. Fuller, Christel J. Smith
We solve the problem of coherent Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) resonant active-to-sterile neutrino flavor conversion driven by an initial lepton number in the early universe.…
