Multimomentum and multiflavor active-sterile neutrino oscillations in the early universe: Role of neutrino asymmetries and effects on nucleosynthesis

Multimomentum and multiflavor active-sterile neutrino oscillations in the early universe: Role of neutrino asymmetries and effects on nucleosynthesis

We perform a study of the flavor evolution in the early universe of a multiflavor active-sterile neutrino system with parameters inspired by the short-baseline neutrino anomalies. In a neutrino-symmetric bath a ``thermal'' population of the sterile state would quickly grow, but in the presence of primordial neutrino asymmetries a self-suppression …
