abstract

We re-examine neutrino oscillations in the early universe. Contrary to previous studies, we show that large neutrino asymmetries can arise due to oscillations between ordinary neutrinos and sterile neutrinos. This means that the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) bounds on the mass and mixing of ordinary neutrinos with sterile neutrinos can be evaded. Also, it is possible that the neutrino asymmetries can be large (i.e. $\stackrel{>}{\sim} 10\%$), and hence have a significant effect on BBN through nuclear reaction rates.

  1. Boomerang mechanism explaining the excess radio background

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-stage mechanism where relic neutrinos convert to dark neutrinos in the early universe and later decay into photon states can explain the ARCADE 2 excess radio background while evading neutrino magnetic moment bounds.

  2. Non-adiabatic transitions in the density matrix formalism

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper derives a density-matrix perturbation formula for two-state non-adiabatic transitions that reproduces the Landau-Zener result only to first order.
