abstract

We show how to enlarge the $\nu$MSM (the minimal extension of the standard model by three right-handed neutrinos) to incorporate inflation and provide a common source for electroweak symmetry breaking and for right-handed neutrino masses. In addition to inflation, the resulting theory can explain simultaneously dark matter and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe; it is consistent with experiments on neutrino oscillations and with all astrophysical and cosmological constraints on sterile neutrino as a dark matter candidate. The mass of inflaton can be much smaller than the electroweak scale.

  1. Multiple Populations of Same Sterile Neutrino as Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A single sterile neutrino species can be produced by multiple early-universe mechanisms, yielding cold and warm dark matter populations with a two-humped momentum spectrum.

  2. The High-Energy Frontier of the Intensity Frontier: Closing the Dark Photon, Inelastic Dark Matter, and Muon g-2 Windows

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Reanalysis of CHARM and NuCal beam-dump data nearly excludes inelastic dark matter as a full-abundance thermal relic in the MeV to GeV range for the benchmark splittings considered, and yields updated dark photon constraints.

  3. When direct detection constrains reheating temperature: freeze-in with stronger couplings and inflaton-seeded freeze-in

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Stronger couplings or inflaton-seeded initial abundance allow freeze-in dark matter to match the relic density while evading DAMIC-M and PandaX bounds for reheating temperatures below the electroweak scale.

  4. Search for light scalar particles produced in Higgs boson decays in exclusive final states with two muons and two hadrons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    CMS obtains O(10^{-4}) upper limits on Higgs branching fraction to light scalars (0.4-2 GeV) decaying to muon-hadron pairs with lifetimes up to ~1 mm.

  5. Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter as a Probe of Inflationary Reheating

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Inflaton decays during reheating can produce all of the observed sterile-neutrino dark matter with a branching ratio below 10^-4, evading X-ray bounds and making a future X-ray line a probe of the inflaton mass and re...

  6. Status of light inflaton: from inflation to laboratory

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A sub-10 GeV Higgs-mixed inflaton fits ACT inflation data only if a free loop-correction parameter is tuned, and its surviving mass–mixing window is testable by SHiP, FASER2, and MATHUSLA.
