Standard model neutrinos as warm dark matter

Standard model neutrinos are not usually considered plausible dark matter candidates because the usual treatment of their decoupling in the early universe implies that their mass must be sufficiently small to make them ``hot'' dark matter. In this paper we show that decoupling of standard model neutrinos in low reheat …
