Constraining Sterile Neutrino Mixing
• Collisions decohere neutrino gas and populate sterile neutrinos
• Requiring that s are not equilibrated (N<4)
The relevant amplitude is simply:

Both solar (SNO) – neutral current signal of D breakup and capture
and atmospheric (Super-K) – enhanced neutral current component and matter effects
experiments are now effectively appearance experiments, and disfavor large sterile components
Sterile must be split between upper and lower doublet

Assuming Standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Something more precise than “optimistic” and “pessimistic” limits
And using only:
1. The Baryon Density:● from the deuterium abundance:D/H = (3.0 ± 0.4) x 10-5
bh2 = 0.020 ± 0.002 (95% CL)(Burles, Nollet & Turner 2000; Burles & Tytler 1998)● from the CMB:bh2 = 0.022(+0.004)(-0.003)(DASI+DMR) + (BOOMerANG)
2. The primordial helium abundance:Yp = 0.241± 0.002 ± 0.006 (Olive, Steigman & Skillman 1997; Fields & Olive 1998)(Izotov & Thuan 1998)

Constraint Evasion & New Physics
1. Pre-existing lepton number (L ~ 105 B)2. A fifth mass eigenstate, mostly sterile
may dynamically generate lepton number (Foot, Thomson & Volkas, 1996) sufficiently early
3. Generation of majoron fields (Berezinsky & Bento 2001)4. Low reheating temperature (3 active neutrinos are not
thermalized)5. Baryon-Antibaryon inhomogeneities: N < 7 (Giovannini, Kurki-
Suonio & Sihvola 2002)6. Extended quintessence (“dark radiation”) (Chen, Scherrer &
Steigman 2001)7. CPT violating Neutrinos (Murayama & Yanagida 2001; Barenboim,
Borrisov, Lykken & Smirnov 2001)

Summary…Summary…
• Future measurements of LMA and 13 will further constrain the cosmological neutrino density
• Big bang nucleosynthesis and the CMB (in the future) is – Best probe of relic neutrino asymmetries– And has consequences for four neutrino models,
or vice-versa
