abstract
A calculation of neutrino decoupling in the early Universe, including full Fermi-Dirac statistics and electron mass dependence in the weak reaction rates, is presented. We find that after decoupling, the electron neutrinos contribute 0.83\% more to the relativistic energy density than in the standard scenario, where neutrinos are assumed not to share the heating from e$^\pm$ annihilation. The corresponding number for muon and tau neutrinos is 0.41\% . This has the consequence of modifying the primordial $^4$He abundance by $\Delta Y=+1.0\times 10^{-4}$, and the cosmological mass limit on light neutrinos by 0.2--0.5 eV.

Baryon-dark matter coincidence in Randall-Sundrum Model
Graviton- and radion-mediated freeze-in in a Randall-Sundrum model can match the observed dark matter relic abundance, and TeV-scale resonant leptogenesis through the same portals can match the observed baryon asymmet...

Bounds and detection of MeV-scale dark matter annihilation to neutrinos
Relic dark matter annihilation into neutrinos after neutrino decoupling adds a nonthermal contribution to the effective number of neutrino species, which can exclude large annihilation cross sections for MeV-scale dar...

Relativistic accretion and burdened primordial black holes
Combining relativistic accretion with memory-burdened evaporation widens the parameter space for primordial black holes as dark matter and changes dark matter and dark radiation emission predictions.
