Description

An extension of the Standard Model by three right-handed (sterile) neutrinos with their masses below the electroweak scale allows to explain the data on neutrino flavor oscillations, allows for generation of baryon asymmetry of the Universe and provides a dark matter candidate. Dark matter made of sterile neutrinos can be warm, cold or mixed and satisfies all existing astrophysical and cosmological bounds. I will overview these bounds and discuss the prospects for future searches.
