Description

In this talk, I will discuss the effects of self-interactions on the production of sterile-neutrino dark matter. For the case of self-interacting active neutrinos, the new interaction plays an important role in the resonant production of dark matter. We have analyzed such a scenario in the case of vector and scalar mediators. The case of self-interactions in the sterile sector provides an interesting model of self-interacting dark matter. These models serve as a well-motivated target for the upcoming experimental searches.
