Neutrinos are the Standard Model (SM) particles which we understand the least, often due to how weakly they interact with the other SM particles. Beyond this, very little is known about interactions among the neutrinos, i.e., their self-interactions. The SM predicts neutrino self-interactions at a level beyond any current experimental capabilities, leaving open the possibility for beyond-the-SM interactions across many energy scales. In this white paper, we review the current knowledge of neutrino self-interactions from a vast array of probes, from cosmology, to astrophysics, to the laboratory. We also discuss theoretical motivations for such self-interactions, including neutrino masses and possible connections to dark matter. Looking forward, we discuss the capabilities of searches in the next generation and beyond, highlighting the possibility of future discovery of this beyond-the-SM physics.

  1. Enabling Strong Neutrino Self-interaction with an Unparticle Mediator

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    An unparticle mediator with a continuous mass spectrum can realize strong neutrino self-interactions while evading BBN/CMB and IceCube constraints.

  2. Flavorful Interactions of AGN Neutrinos with Dark Matter Spike

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    IceCube-Gen2 flavor ratios can discriminate a U(1) neutrino–dark-matter model in AGN spikes from the standard (1/3:1/3:1/3) and muon-damped predictions, and, combined with mass-ordering and tau-decay data, constrain t...

  3. Widen the Resonance at Ultra-High Energies: Novel Probes of Neutrino Self-interactions in the High-Mass Regime

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    If one neutrino species in the cosmic neutrino background is still relativistic today, UHE neutrinos scattering off it can resonantly disappear over a broad energy range, and GRAND could detect that dip to probe neutr...

  4. New Constraints on Neutrino-Dark Matter Interactions: A Comprehensive Analysis

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Most benchmark neutrino-dark matter couplings adopted in previous studies are excluded when laboratory meson and Z decay bounds are combined with cosmological and astrophysical constraints, leaving only special galact...

  5. The Highest-Energy Neutrino Event Constrains Dark Matter-Neutrino Interactions

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    KM3-230213A limits dark matter-neutrino scattering to below about 1e-22 cm^2/GeV at 220 PeV, but most simple dark matter models are excluded by unitarity above MeV masses.

  6. Searching for neutrino self-interactions at future muon colliders

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A forward detector at a future muon collider could detect neutrinophilic scalar production via wrong-sign muons, improving neutrino self-interaction limits by about two orders of magnitude.

  7. Neutrino-Portal Dark Matter Detection Prospects at a Future Muon Collider

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 10 kg forward neutrino detector at a 3 TeV muon collider could probe neutrinophilic scalar mediators down to couplings that reach thermal freeze-out and freeze-in dark matter relic targets.

  8. Neutrino masses from large-scale structures: future sensitivity and theory dependence

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Forecasted 1-sigma sensitivity to the sum of neutrino masses is 15 meV for Planck+DESI and 7 meV for CMB-S4+MegaMapper, with the one-loop bispectrum providing 10% and 30% of the constraining power.

  9. Neutrino Diffusion within Dark Matter Spikes

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Neutrinos diffusing through dense dark matter spikes around supermassive black holes can be delayed by days, but the accompanying flux suppression means dark matter alone probably cannot explain the observed 100+ day ...

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A minimal Dirac seesaw model yields viable sterile-neutrino dark matter via freeze-in, with the right-handed mixing angle θ_R bypassing X-ray bounds.

  11. Probing Long-Range Forces Between Neutrinos with Cosmic Structures

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Neutrino long-range forces stronger than gravity would make the cosmic neutrino background collapse into bound states, and existing matter power spectrum and reionization data now exclude a band of couplings for force...
