TLDR
In this paper, the authors reanalyze the existing data from accelerator neutrino experiments and from Super-Kamiokande to set new bounds on heavy sterile neutrinos in the range of 8 MeV to 390 MeV.Abstract:
We revise the bounds on heavy sterile neutrinos, especially in the case of their mixing with muon neutrinos in the charged current. We summarize the present experimental limits and we reanalyze the existing data from accelerator neutrino experiments and from Super-Kamiokande to set new bounds on a heavy sterile neutrino in the range of masses from 8 MeV to 390 MeV. We also discuss how the future accelerator neutrino experiments can improve the present limits.read more

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the SHiP experiment has a unique potential to discover new physics and can directly probe a number of solutions of beyond the standard model puzzles, such as neutrino masses, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, dark matter, and inflation.

The Search for Heavy Majorana Neutrinos
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that in the presence of Majorana neutrinos in the mass range of ∼ 100 MeV to 5 GeV, the rates for these processes would be enhanced due to their resonant contribution.

Sterile neutrinos: The Dark side of the light fermions
TL;DR: The discovery of neutrino masses suggests the likely existence of gauge singlet fermions that participate in the neutrinos mass generation via the seesaw mechanism as discussed by the authors, which can play an important role in astrophysics and cosmology.

Sterile-neutrinos as dark matter
Scott Dodelson,Scott Dodelson,Scott Dodelson,Lawrence M. Widrow,Lawrence M. Widrow,Lawrence M. Widrow +5 more
TL;DR: This model is reexamine and it is found that hot, warm, and cold dark matter are all possibilities and the number density of sterile neutrinos is proportional to [mu][sup 2]/M so that the energy density today is independent of M, which is crucial in determining the large scale structure of the Universe.

The νMSM, dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the universe
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the extension of the standard model by three right-handed neutrinos with masses smaller than the electroweak scale (the νMSM) can explain simultaneously dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the universe and be consistent with the experiments on neutrino oscillations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new and unique dark matter candidate was proposed, which was produced by lepton-number-driven resonant Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein conversion of active neutrinos.
